I'd like to be able to promote a local variable to an instance variable using 
the refactor menu.

I find that when I'm designing widget code I often write code like:

Button foo = new Button(parent, SWT.PUSH);

while I'm designing the GUI. When I start connecting the pieces together I 
often discover that foo needs to be an instance variable. Refactor could help 
me make this change.
