refactoring tools and xcode plugins

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.
