Hi Donnie,

Thank you for getting back with new ideas! I see you've changed the level of difficulty for your suggestions :)

After the Dreamforce we'll start working on the refactoring options for Apex - for now we consider renaming and "implementing interfaces" as a priority, however haven't included work with abstract classes there. Won't promise now that we'll do this asap, however we'll do our best to handle this case as well in our first (or second) iteration of refactoring options for Apex.

Thank you,

Vladimir

Thanks for getting back so quickly Vladimir, rename refactoring would be a very useful feature (I presume this would extend to renaming classes and interfaces as well as methods and variables/properties?). Also the "Implementing interfaces" feature would go a long way to satisfying my request above as we only have a handful of abstract classes currently in our code base (compared to the many interfaces we currently have and continue to add).

Cheers,

Donnie
