How do I auto-move dependencies of a statement as well, while moving the statement [message #1748561]

I have following functions-

void called(PassedObj obP){
    A obA = new A(pOb);
    B obB = new B(obA);
    obB.randomFunc();
    ...
}

void caller(){
    PassedObj obP= new PassedObj();
    called(obP);
}

Using Eclipse JDT, is it possible to automatically figure out all the dependencies of the obj2 and auto-move them to the caller function?

I want to refactor these functions to look something like-

void called(B obB){
    obB.randomFunc();
    ...
}

void caller(){
    PassedObj obP= new PassedObj();
    A obA = new A(obP);
    B obB = new B(obA);
    called(objB);
}

In general, is it possible to move a statement to another function so that all the dependencies of the statement are also moved(copied) to the new place?

You have a valid answer to this on StackOverflow. No reason for double-posting.

The art here is to combine existing refactorings to achieve your goal with existing tooling, rather than inventing new special-case refactorings.
