Refactoring URGENT question

Hello all.My very 1st post...

Hope you guys can help me out...

My question is the following:

Where I work, we have a final public class SomeClass, which has hundreds of private static methods inside.

I need to find a way to re-factor that class, to divide it into smaller classes, and to divide the methods of SomeClass between the new smaller classes.

I don't want to change any of the code that is calling methods from SomeClass, because that will be huge amount of work.

Do any of you guys can think of a way to do that? I thought about "implements", but that will not do for methods, I believe.

Thanks for any help, really appreciated.

If they're private methods, then they are presumably called only from inside the class. You can refactor them and move them wherever you wish without having to change anything that is outside that class.

@Op. It's also very easy to use refactoring in eclipse. It will change the method calls for you.Kaj

U can make interfaces for different methods and change existing class that implements those interfaces. In this way u can refactor them.
