Itellij is actually pretty good at this. Besides that, cursor or windsurf should be able to. I was using cursor for a while and when I needed to reactor something, it was pretty good at picking that up. It kept crashing on me though, so I am now trying windsurf and some other options. I am missing the auto complete features in cursor though as I would use this all the time to fill out boilerplate stuff as I write.
The one key difference in cursor and windsurf when compared to other products is that it will look at the entire context again for any changes or at least a little bit of it. You make a change, it looks if it needs to make changes elsewhere.
I still don't trust AI to do much though, but it's an excellent helper
