Abstract

This paper presents Historef, a tool for automatin edit history refactoring on Eclipse IDE for Java programs. The aim of our history refactorings is to improve the understandability and/or usability of the history without changing its whole effect. Historef enables us to apply history refactorings to the recorded edit history in the middle of the source code editing process by a developer. By using our integrated tool, developers can commit the refactored edits into underlying SCM repository after applying edit history refactorings so that they are easy to manage their changes based on the performed edits.
