Title: Automate identifying and collecting superclasses
Post by: austin_hastings on September 19, 2005, 01:17:44 pm
Having just gone through this, forgive me if it's a FAQ (but I couldn't find it with the local forum search or with google):

I'd like to see a dialog box for migrating subclass details to a superclass.

The Generalize connector presents a dialog allowing the user to select methods, etc to override or extend in the subclass. That's a great start.

What I'd like to see is  some sort of "pull stuff out of my children" option for classes which have subclasses. So when I am merging two (or more) subclasses into a new parent, I can mouse-mouse-mouse and get all the data and methods either moved or copied up.

I'm thinking:

subclass  -  attribute-or-operation-name - move - copy

Where 'move' and 'copy' are checkboxes.

Comment?
