The refactoring and source commands can be accessed via a quick menu. Select the element to be manipulated in the Java editor or in a Java view and press Alt+Shift+S for the quick source menu or Alt+Shift+T for the quick refactor menu.

clauses.
The Rename dialog has been simplified as a consequence:
The old option Update references in Javadoc comments has been folded into Update references. The old options Update references in regular comments and Update references in string literals have been merged into Update textual matches in comments and strings.
The wizard shows the supertype hierarchy for the variable. Selecting one of the available types updates the declaration.
A static factory method is created that calls the now-private constructor, and all calls to the given constructor are replaced with calls to the new factory method.
- renames parameters in overriding methods as well,
- updates references in javadocs
- offers Content Assist (Ctrl+Space) in the parameter type column,
- allows to change the method name,
- allows to change thrown exceptions.
Furthermore, editing in the parameters table has been streamlined such that you can use standard navigation keys (Tab, Shift+Tab, Arrow Up & Down). Editing can be started by clicking into a cell, or pressing F2 or Enter.
For Java code contained in an anonymous, local, or non-static member type, the Extract Method refactoring now allows the new method to be created in an outer type.
Extract method finds duplicate code fragments
Extract method now finds duplicate code fragments and helps extracting them into the new method as well. For example, when extracting the expression foo(a) + bar(b) from the snippet:
the resulting code is:
