Eclipse - Extract local variable replace all occurrences only in scope

Question

I'm using Eclipse Neon

I have a repeating method calls in a over sized method:

 myObj.getStatus()

Eg

if (myObj.getStatus() == ONE || myObj.getStatus() == TWO ) {
}
myObj.changeMe();
if (myObj.getStatus() == THREE || myObj.getStatus() == FOUR) {
}
myObj.changeMe2();
...

where status can be updated internally between calls

I have only 2 options

• Extract local variable and check the Replace all occurrences only in scope (method) which isn't good (because getStatus() isn't effectively final)

• Extract local variable and replace manually each relevant myObj.getStatus() call

I finally Extract a method and then Extract local variable and check the Replace all occurrences

Is this the most valid option? or can I replace only in specific context/selected text in eclipse? if not can this be consider as enhancement for eclipse refactoring?

EDIT

I was hoping for refactor to the nearest enclosing block similar to JavaScript's let

Actually the code is not in same level, yet eclipse replace all occurrences in method

if (myState.equals(STATE_ONE){
  if (myObj.getStatus() == ONE || myObj.getStatus() == TWO ) {
  }
  myObj.changeMe();
}
if (myObj.getStatus() == THREE || myObj.getStatus() == FOUR) {
}
myObj.changeMe2();
...

Answer 1

There is a third option for that:

1. Make sure the checkbox Replace all occurrences of the selected expression with references to the local variable is checked
2. Click Preview >
3. Uncheck the checkboxes where the expression should not be replaced (in your case, the last two)
