Description Jeff Brown

public class Foo implements IFoo {
  public static int FIELD = 1;
}

public interface IFoo {
}

The Move refactoring should let me move FIELD to IFoo (or
to any other interface for that matter though that might generate
errors), but this does not appear to be supported.

Oops!
I just tried this out again and it worked fine.  When I filed this
report, I had just selected a static field and did Refactor->Move.
The class picker dialog was not showing me any interfaces, however.

it should actually be disabled (i'm surprised you managed to move it)

as of now, only interface fields can be moved to another interface
it'd be possible to move also public static final fields

or, check that there's no write accesses to the field (except for the 
initializer) and make the field final myself.

but these are feature requests
