Push Up Abstract Method

This refactoring moves a method's abstract signature into the parent class. When the method is moved to the parent class, the protections on the method become "Protectted" and the appropriate import statements are added to the parent class.>

To push up a method, right click on the method, select "Method Refactorings", and select push up.

Warning: If all child classes of the parent class don't implement the newly pushed up method, they will not compile.
