NO.  Refactoring, diagramming, and pretty-printing are applicable to any 
OO language. The first Refactoring Browser was in Smalltalk.

I'd like to see these tools for C++, but they are not available. The 
reason many of them are available in Java is that the language has more 
reflection available at runtime than C++ does (and parsing Java is 
easier than parsing C++), but someone in control of the compiler (such 
as CodeWarrior engineers) could make similar tools for C++.
