Some months ago, I read about a utility that factors out static classes,
making them be instantiated. Has anyone heard of this utulity (because now I
cannot remember it), what it is called? Thanks

Classes can not be instantiated. Objects can be instantiated.

Without you clarifying more what you actually want, I can't really
help.

Could you have meant to ask one of the following questions?

How do I move a static inner class to a top level class?
How do I make a static member into an instance member?
How do I instantiate an object?
What is refactorying, and how do I do it?

You mean turn static nested classes into top-level classes? Usually you
would do that in an IDE so that all affected classes in a project or
workspace get updates as well (since the outer class no longer forms part
of the namespace). Eclipse, Netbeans, JBuilder, JDeveloper - AFAIK all of
them can do this easily.
