Member Mover

An Eclipse plugin providing shortcuts to reorder Java class members inside a file.

member-mover

Description

This plugin works similar to Move Line Up (ALT+UP) and Move Line Down (ALT+DOWN) but on a higher level.

For example, you can swap the method the cursor is currently in with the method above it. This is a lot faster than first selecting the whole method and than moving it up line by line until it is above the other one.

Works inside all Java types and with all members (fields, methods, nested classes/interfaces, etc.).

Shortcuts

Windows & Linux

  • CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+UP
  • CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+DOWN

OS X

  • CMD+SHIFT+OPTION+UP
  • CMD+SHIFT+OPTION+DOWN
