refactoring in R

6 messages · milton ruser, Peng Yu, Tobias Verbeke

I found the examples of how to change the code for each refactoring
activity. Are there tools that can help automate this process?

Hi Peng,

Some of the refactoring methods I identified back
then were integrated into Eclipse/StatET in the
mean time.

StatET by the way contains some extensions that were
not in the original proposal on that website.

For the announcement of the latest release, see

http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/statet-user/2009-September/000208.html

It is advisable to use it with the rJava version
referenced in the announcement (as rJava 0.8.*
had some non-backwards-compatible API changes).

A new StatET version (a.o. adapted to rJava 0.8.x)
is likely to be released on short notice.

If you want to keep up to date, there is a dedicated
mailing list at

https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/statet-user

HTH,
Tobias

P.S. The refactoring methods are available under the Source menu,
and there is one [simple rename] made available as a QuickFix (Ctrl+1).

Hi Peng,
This depends on your needs other than R programming.
As you can see, there are Eclipse Packages targeted
at C/C++ developers, PHP developers, Java EE developers
etc.

Whatever Eclipse Package you choose, Eclipse is
a highly modular (component-based) platform and
you can install (or remove) any plug-ins you
want after installation. The StatET plug-ins will
be the first additional ones you want to install.

For general use, I would just take Eclipse Classic.

Tobias
