java-refactoring-remove-parameter

What problem does it solve?

Removing unused or redundant parameters from Java methods reduces API surface, simplifies signatures, and improves readability and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Remove unused parameters from Java method signatures while preserving behavior.
• Update all internal and external call sites to match new signatures.
• Validate compilation and unit tests to ensure safety after refactoring.
• Use in large codebases and libraries to simplify public APIs and internal helpers.

Quick Start

Identify a Java method where a parameter is unused or can be derived from the object's state, then refactor by removing the parameter and updating all call sites.
