Answer 1

In IntelliJ 14-15 do the following:

1. Position the caret on theMethod().
2. press Ctrl/Cmd+F6 (Change signature).
3. Introduce new parameter: Type=TheOtherClass, Name=theOtherClass, Default value=new TheOtherClass()
4. Refactor
5. Then press F6 (move) and move the method to theOtherClass.

You will end up with:

public class TheClass {
    public void doStuff() {
        int i = new TheOtherClass().theMethod();
    }
}
public class TheOtherClass {
    int theMethod() {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
        return 0;
    }
}
