Extract methods across classes? [message #335673]

If I have something like this:

public void myMethod() {

System.out.println("Hello);
int y = 1;

for (int i = 0; i <= 99; i++) {
System.out.println("i = " + i);
}

y++;

for (int i = 0; i <= 99; i++) {
System.out.println("i = " + i);
}

}

and I highlight the first for loop and command it to extract into a
method, it will recognize that the 2nd for loop is the same and replace it
with a call to the new method, in addition of a call at the place of the
first for loop.

My question is, can it do this across methods? across classes?

It works but only inside one compilation unit.
