BeneFactor: a Flexible Refactoring Tool for Eclipse [pdf]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Although broadly available in major software development environments, refactoring tools are still underused. One of the reasons for this underuse is that existing refactoring tools assume that a developer recognizes that she is going to refactor before she even begins. In this paper, we present a flexible refactoring tool called BeneFactor that can be invoked after refactoring begins to safely complete a refactoring change.
