Improved Extract Method refactoring

We’ve upgraded the Extract Method refactoring by introducing the option to apply it even when the selected code fragment features several variables that need to be returned. In these cases, the IDE first suggests wrapping these variables into a new record or bean class and then performing method extraction.

You can find the complete list of changes introduced within the ongoing development cycle in the release notes.

The team is now working on polishing the new functionality, and you can help us by sharing your feedback! Try out the recently added features and let us know about your experience on Twitter or in the comments section below. If you find a bug, please report it to our issue tracker.

Happy developing!
