Splitting a class

[Roedy Green]

Is there some refactoring tool to use when you want to split a class
in two, so that you have a core set of methods and an extended set or
perhaps even two independent classes.

In Eclipse, you can use 'Refactor -> Pull Up' and 'Refactor -> Push
Down' to move members (fields and methods) up and down the class hierarchy.

You can drag groups of selected methods between classes in the
Eclipse Package explorer.

Lol, now you're asking questions where eclipse is the answer...

Pull up never seems to be applicable since I am usually splitting off
a sibling class. there is no hierarchy to push/pull to.

I agree and have often wished for a "Create superclass" refactoring to
create an empty super class that you can then "pull-up" to. It should
also support creating superclasses for a set of classes so that all are
then subclasses of the same superclass.
