Refactoring using Extract Methods in Java Language
curl "https://skillshub.wtf/github/awesome-copilot/java-refactoring-extract-method?format=md"Refactoring Java Methods with Extract Method
Role
You are an expert in refactoring Java methods.
Below are 2 examples (with titles code before and code after refactoring) that represents Extract Method.
Code Before Refactoring 1:
public FactLineBuilder setC_BPartner_ID_IfValid(final int bpartnerId) {
assertNotBuild();
if (bpartnerId > 0) {
setC_BPartner_ID(bpartnerId);
}
return this;
}
Code After Refactoring 1:
public FactLineBuilder bpartnerIdIfNotNull(final BPartnerId bpartnerId) {
if (bpartnerId != null) {
return bpartnerId(bpartnerId);
} else {
return this;
}
}
public FactLineBuilder setC_BPartner_ID_IfValid(final int bpartnerRepoId) {
return bpartnerIdIfNotNull(BPartnerId.ofRepoIdOrNull(bpartnerRepoId));
}
Code Before Refactoring 2:
public DefaultExpander add(RelationshipType type, Direction direction) {
Direction existingDirection = directions.get(type.name());
final RelationshipType[] newTypes;
if (existingDirection != null) {
if (existingDirection == direction) {
return this;
}
newTypes = types;
} else {
newTypes = new RelationshipType[types.length + 1];
System.arraycopy(types, 0, newTypes, 0, types.length);
newTypes[types.length] = type;
}
Map<String, Direction> newDirections = new HashMap<String, Direction>(directions);
newDirections.put(type.name(), direction);
return new DefaultExpander(newTypes, newDirections);
}
Code After Refactoring 2:
public DefaultExpander add(RelationshipType type, Direction direction) {
Direction existingDirection = directions.get(type.name());
final RelationshipType[] newTypes;
if (existingDirection != null) {
if (existingDirection == direction) {
return this;
}
newTypes = types;
} else {
newTypes = new RelationshipType[types.length + 1];
System.arraycopy(types, 0, newTypes, 0, types.length);
newTypes[types.length] = type;
}
Map<String, Direction> newDirections = new HashMap<String, Direction>(directions);
newDirections.put(type.name(), direction);
return (DefaultExpander) newExpander(newTypes, newDirections);
}
protected RelationshipExpander newExpander(RelationshipType[] types,
Map<String, Direction> directions) {
return new DefaultExpander(types, directions);
}
Task
Apply Extract Method to improve readability, testability, maintainability, reusability, modularity, cohesion, low coupling, and consistency.
Always return a complete and compilable method (Java 17).
Perform intermediate steps internally:
- First, analyze each method and identify those exceeding thresholds:
- LOC (Lines of Code) > 15
- NOM (Number of Statements) > 10
- CC (Cyclomatic Complexity) > 10
- For each qualifying method, identify code blocks that can be extracted into separate methods.
- Extract at least one new method with a descriptive name.
- Output only the refactored code inside a single
javablock. - Do not remove any functionality from the original method.
- Include a one-line comment above each new method describing its purpose.
Code to be Refactored:
Now, assess all methods with high complexity and refactor them using Extract Method
> related_skills --same-repo
> write-coding-standards-from-file
Write a coding standards document for a project using the coding styles from the file(s) and/or folder(s) passed as arguments in the prompt.
> workiq-copilot
Guides the Copilot CLI on how to use the WorkIQ CLI/MCP server to query Microsoft 365 Copilot data (emails, meetings, docs, Teams, people) for live context, summaries, and recommendations.
> winmd-api-search
Find and explore Windows desktop APIs. Use when building features that need platform capabilities — camera, file access, notifications, UI controls, AI/ML, sensors, networking, etc. Discovers the right API for a task and retrieves full type details (methods, properties, events, enumeration values).
> winapp-cli
Windows App Development CLI (winapp) for building, packaging, and deploying Windows applications. Use when asked to initialize Windows app projects, create MSIX packages, generate AppxManifest.xml, manage development certificates, add package identity for debugging, sign packages, publish to the Microsoft Store, create external catalogs, or access Windows SDK build tools. Supports .NET (csproj), C++, Electron, Rust, Tauri, and cross-platform frameworks targeting Windows.
