I'm starting to work with some unfamiliar code. For example I've got
class DerivedTableModel extends AbstractTableModel
class DerivedJTable extends JTable
I want a list of all methods in DerivedTableModel that are not in
AbstractTableModel. I tried "Refactor > ExtractInterface" but the list
includes all methods defined in DerivedTableModel and if you click the
"check all action" at the bottom it gets all methods; not what I'm
looking for.
One thought is to have "exclude" option checkboxes
Implemented Interface methods
Extended Class methods
Unknown Methods
To get the current default none of these checked, so all methods are
included. One think I'm looking for, I'd check both interface/class
options, so only methods that do not override something is in the list
of methods to chose from.
My task is to provide a plug in compatible alternate implementation.
Knowing what needs to be implmented, and isn't part of
AbtractTableModel, is a place to start. It could be argued that such an
interface should have been made when DerivedTableModel was first built.
Another list, with "Unknown Methods" checked, is also useful to look at
especially when it comes to considering how super class/interface are
tweaked.
Any convenient way to get these? I haven't done a deep dive into how
useful these would actually be. I'd consider adding the "exclude"
checkboxes if it seems useful and someone is willing to answer questions
about "Extract Interface" and review PR. I don't think I've ever looked
at any refactor code; might be a steep curve; but since it's filters on
an existing list, might not be too bad.
