How to reproduce the case study

1.Requirements

. JDK == 17

• Eclipse, version 4.35.0

• IntelliJ IDEA, version 2025.1.3

2.Step-by-step tutorial

• Download the implementation at: git clone https://github.com/openpaperdatasetcode/MethodRelocationRefactoringEngineTesting.git

• A tool that performs automated execution of refactoring by calling refactoring engines.

1 Eclipse

• Open Eclipse, click File > Import in the top menu bar.

• In the pop-up window, select General > Existing Projects into Workspace and click Next.

• Check Select root directory, click Browse to select the reproduction package/plugin project folder in the cloned repository.

• Check the target plugin project in the Projects list, keep other default settings, and click Finish.

• Wait for Eclipse to load dependencies and build the project (ensure JDK 17 is configured as the project SDK).

2 IntelliJ IDEA

• Open IntelliJ IDEA, click File > Open in the top menu bar (or Import Project for the initial startup interface).

• Select the reproduction package/plugin project folder in the cloned repository and click OK.

• In the import prompt, select Import project from external model (if needed) or keep the default, and click Next until the end.

• Go to File > Project Structure > Project SDK, select JDK 17 as the project SDK, and click Apply > OK.

• Wait for IntelliJ IDEA to index the project and download relevant dependencies.

###• Open dataset：Dataset.

3.SkeletonGeneration

• Open PyCharm and locate the randomSeclectFeature.py file in the project explorer.

• Right-click anywhere in the editor area and select Run 'randomSeclectFeature'.
