Add method to interface? [message #199393]

Hi.
I was wondering if there's any magic way to add a method from a class to
it's interface through a context menu or something?

Basically, let's say I have:

public Class MyClass implements MyInterface { ... }

public Interface MyInterface {
public void doSomething();
}

then I go into MyClass and type:

public void doSomethingElse { ... }

I would like to be able to right click on the new method in MyClass and
have an option to add the method signature to MyInterface.

Is there any way to do this?
Guess I'm just lazy and don't want to type. :)

Thanks!

- Jonathan

I would have sworn it was possible through the Refactoring menu, but
apparently it is not (at least not in 3.0.x - I don't know about 3.1).
The closest thing is you can select a class and choose Refactor >
Extract Interface... to create a new interface from a class' methods.
But that does not carry over for existing interfaces.

Please search Bugzilla for an enhancement request and, if not found,
enter one.

You can hit Ctrl-1 at the method and it usually offers "extract to
interface".

So it does - nice.
I still think this should be a Refactoring instead of a Quick Fix thing.
So I entered a request:
