Abstract

This article presents our refactoring plug-in for the Groovy-Eclipse Plug-in. Refactoring is a very important technique for every software engineer to ensure the healthiness of his code and a cornerstone of agile software development. In our project we introduce refactoring support for Groovy-Eclipse, with six automated refactorings as well as a source code formatter. Since Java and Groovy are that closely related we also analyzed and documented the options to introduce crosslanguage refactorings between Java and Groovy.
