I know I'm not the first to ask for this, but I really haven't seen
any kind of resolution to the refactoring problem. I did find this page:
http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?ObjectiveCeeRefactoringProject
but there doesn't appear to be any kind of real coding activity
surrounding it. One of the previous posts mentioned this tool:
http://www.kevincallahan.org/software/accessorizer.html
which definitely looks interesting and I'll be checking it out soon.
Another question that I saw on the list regarding refactoring was
"Why do you need it, what would you gain?" Primarily the tools that
I'm missing are these:
1) Renaming/Moving files and having XCode automatically clean stuff
up for me
2) Renaming methods and having XCode clean up the references
3) Auto-generate methods from my header file in my impl file
4) Auto-generate methods from a formal/informal protocol for me (such
as NSCoding or TableDataSource)
5) Allow me to specify methods from an interface/class that I would
like to override
These are all things that I would get for free from something like
Eclipse of IDEA (yeah I know they're java tools, but that's the world
I'm coming from).
One of the things I've been searching for on the web is XCode
plugins, but can't seem to find a central place for these (or very
many of them for that matter), any pointers in this direction would
be great.
Thanks for reading this far and I would love to hear opinions on
this, I'm not proposing I can do anything about it (as I have no
time) but maybe there is something out there that I've missed.
