well, this was not entirely true,
you can read the following:

- Roberts 'Practical Analysis for Refactoring' PhD Thesis - our design is inspired by that of the Smalltalk Refactoring Browser
- Baeumer, Gamma, Kiezun 'Integrating Refactoring Support into a Java IDE' OOPSLA'01 Companion - good explanation of the basic
design of our tool
- Tip, Kiezun, Baeumer 'Refactoring for Generalization using Type Constraints' to appear in OOPSLA'03 proceedings - more theoretical
view of some aspects of refactoring
