Customized & Automated Search/Replace
Custom hints (a.k.a custom inspections or quick fixes in other IDEs) are available since NetBeans IDE 7.1. They match patterns in Java code and can provide transformations. This enables you to create small refactorings based on the AST, without coding. A typical usecase is the type-safe migration of API, instead of the error-prone plain text-based “search and replace” approach.
