(Starting a new thread as suggested by Geertjan...)

I have seen broken refactoring operations as well. Most notably, "Find Usages" 
on a Java method will sometimes miss call sites. I have also seen methods and 
classes missing when searching from the Go to Symbol dialog. Probably the same 
underlying cause. I don't know how to reproduce this, however.

For comparison, NetBeans 8.4 (pre-Apache, and with Java 8) was always 
completely reliable.

Exiting the IDE, deleting the cache directory, and starting the IDE again have 
always fixed these problems for me. So I suspect indexing errors are the cause.

I used to see a lot of error messages relating to the IDE not being able to 
parse a java file, although in later releases things have gotten a lot better. 
I also have high hopes that the new "vanilla indexing" system (Java indexing 
without the nb-javac plugin) may improve things.

All of my projects are Maven-based NetBeans Platform module projects, with 
Compile-on-Save enabled.

Start a new thread on it and point to the specific issues, or create new ones 
with steps to reproduce (I use NetBeans regularly including refactoring, would 
like to see these issues), let's get it fixed.

Just going to point out that refactoring(renaming methods, others) on Netbeans 
is still broken... as it has been for years.
