Place variable one context up in Eclipse JDT

Question

I've been looking for the Eclipse JDT refactoring tool which allows me to quickly change

if (...) {
  Object x = blablabla;
}

to

Object x;
if (...) {
  x = blablabla;
}
// insert code using x here

But I can't find it. Does something like that exist?

No.

But, you can use the "Split Variable Declaration" refactoring (CTRL+1 on the declaration gets you a list of possible refactoring options) and than relocate the declaration yourself using Cut/Paste or drag&drop.
