Abstract
Refactoring capabilities are very important when working in the software industry. Anyone who has ever had to overhaul an existing code base has run into issues with changing code. One of the most common examples is moving classes between packages and having to manually edit the package statements at the top of each file. Another example is wanting to delete an element in code (such as a class member, an old utility method, and so on) and not knowing if code in your application still uses that element.
