Joe --

Eclipse has all of this plus a whole lot more.  Support for various
refactorings is especially strong.  Moving a method from one class to
another consists of cut/paste.  Or, there are special refactoring
options for things like "Pull Up" which automatically moves a method or
field to a superclass of the containing class.

It doesn't use WTE, which is a kludge.  Instead, WSAD uses the real WAS.

For getters and setters, you can specify prefixes and suffixes to
remove.  For example, I like to name my fields m_foo but I want the
methods to use getFoo and setFoo, not getM_foo and setM_foo.  Eclipse
handles this as well.
