I installed CDT plugin hoping to use in C++ the rich refactiring support
available to Java developers. But currently refactoring support is limited
to rename refactoring. Does anyone work to add more?

It comes and goes. The rename refactoring we currently have is pretty weak.
We have some better rename refactoring in the pipe that uses the platform
LTK. I don't think that's going to make it for 3.0, though.
As Jeff mentioned, this stuff is pretty hard and will take a lot of research
effort to get it right, although I am encouraged with the work being done at
UIUC. We're going to need more volunteers, though, to get this into the CDT
with good quality and scalability.
Doug.
