found something

hi jetbrains, is this of any interest to you? this just went though the scala users mailing list:

I just finished my master's thesis on Scala Refactoring. I developed an IDE 
independent library that uses the Scala compiler to provide refactoring 
functionality. I implemented several refactorings, but it was also my goal to 
make it easy to create new refactorings: you just have to write a tree 
transformation and the library takes care of the source code changes.

The refactorings are being integrated into the Scala IDE for Eclipse (they are 
currently in a branch, but will be merged). Because the refactorings only 
depend on the Scala compiler, they could also be intergrated into other Scala 
IDEs.

There's also a new website for it: http://scala-refactoring.org, my report is 
here: http://scala-refactoring.org/wp-content/uploads/scala-refactoring.pdf. 
The report might also be interesting for others that start working with the 
Scala AST, I have an Appendix that documents how the Scala AST classes are 
used.

Feedback is very welcome; I'm going to continue the project in my spare time, 
so please report bugs - they will be fixed  :-)
