help Move FAQ
What does the "Move" refactoring feature do in JetBrains IDEs?
The Move refactoring safely relocates classes, methods, or files to a new package or directory. It automatically updates all dependent references across your entire project to prevent compilation errors.
Can I use the Move refactor to move an inner class to a higher scope?
Yes, JetBrains tools allow you to use the Move refactor to extract an inner class to its own dedicated top-level file. This is extremely useful for decluttering massive Java files and improving code organization.
How does Move refactoring handle static methods in Java?
If you move a static method to another class, the IDE will automatically adjust the import statements. It also updates the method call signatures so that all dependent classes correctly reference the new location.
