| Creating refactoring scripts |
| </h1> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select <strong>Refactor</strong> > <strong>Create Script...</strong> from the refactoring menu to show the create refactoring script dialog. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The create refactoring script dialog displays the refactoring history of your workspace. Drill down to an individual refactoring and select |
| it to see more details about the performed refactoring in the details view below. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Refactoring scripts can either be copied to the clipboard or saved to a file in your local file system. Select <strong>Clipboard</strong> to copy the created |
| refactoring script to the clipboard, or <strong>File</strong> to store the script to a file. Click on <strong>Browse...</strong> to select the |
| location where to store the refactoring script. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select all refactorings that you would like to save into a refactoring script. Select years, months, weeks or days to select all associated refactorings at once. Select |
| a project to save all refactorings associated with the project to a refactoring script. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| In order to be able to better select refactorings from the refactoring history, there are two ways to group your refactorings:<br> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Group by Project</strong>: Refactorings are grouped by project. Every refactoring is associated with the project that contains the element |
| which served as input to the recorded refactoring. <br><strong>Note</strong>: There are certain instances of refactorings which cannot |
| be uniquely associated with a project. These refactorings are associated with the entire workspace. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Group by Date</strong>: Refactorings are grouped by date. The refactoring history dialog presents the refactorings as a history, last recently executed |
| refactorings first. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>Create</strong> to create the refactoring script and close the dialog. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
