Need some suggestions about how to perform other refactorings programmatically according to detected refactoring opportunities

Hi authors,

Currently, the jdeodorant-commandline only supports the Extract Clone in running as a standalone command-line application mode.

I am trying to invoke other refactorings (like Extract Method, Move Method, and etc. in JDeodorant) programmatically, so i need to write code for other refactorings like Extract Clone in standalone command-line application mode.

I noticed that in this issuse, jdeodorant-commandline can print all the refactoring opportunities. I want to apply other refactorings programmatically according those detected refactoring opportunities. For this purpose, i read the code in JDeodorant and find out that other refactorings are closed binded with the eclipse UI, it is not a easy work to unbind them.

So i write this issue to ask for some suggestions or advices about how to achieve other refactoring types in standalone command-line application mode. Jdeodorant-commandline can print all the refactoring opportunities now, so based on those detected code smell, what i want to do is applying those refactorings without eclipse UI, then i can programmatically achieve other auto-refactorings.

I would be really appreciate if you could give me some hints or advices about how to achieve the above goals. @tsantalis
