RE: [Eap-list] Renaming class

[North D]

Hi Mike.   IDEA can tell some.package.MyClass from some.other.package.MyClass.  What it can't do is tell the difference in strings, eg. "Constructing MyClass", because there is no semantic information in a string that it can use.  It willc orrectly rename the class, but you have to be a bit careful if you search for usages in strings as well.   Cheers, Dan   -----Original Message----- From: Mike Liu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 December 2001 06:09 To: Eap-List@Intellij. Com Subject: [Eap-list] Renaming class Hi,   Don’t know if this is considered a bug…   I tried renaming a class from MyClass to YourClass.  First of all, Refactor | Rename won’t work because IDEA attempts to rename without regards to packages.  For example, it tries to rename com.whatever.MyClass, MyClass, and com.whatever.somewhere.MyClass, etc.  I can’t do a Refactor | Move either because it assumes same class name.  So I did the traditional renaming by typing over the class name myself.   When I save the file, however, it did not rename the actual filename.  Shouldn’t it do that?  It is possible for this to be a feature for the next release (if it doesn’t a bug)?    So basically: 1)       can Refactor | Rename work for class as well, with the contextual knowledge of the package of this class? and 2)       can IDEA save the file with the name of the class (case-sensitively)?   Platform: W2K, Release 2.5, JDK 1.3.1_01   Thanks, Mike Liu   *************************************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
