refactoring a group of constants in enum [message #259387]

Hi

Is there a refactoring option to select a group of constants and choose to
move them in a new enum type?

something like:

static final String FOO = "foo";
static final String BAR = "bar";

|
v

enum NewEnum { foo, bar }; (or enum NewEnum {FOO("foo"), BAR("bar") .....
}; - an option to keep constant name)

and the uses of constants would be refactored in
NewEnum.foo.name()
