Rusty, It is probably safe to assume that the refactoring in pdt is probably not complete or working at this moment. technically, refactoring is when you change your code without changing the external behavior of your code. think "code clean up". You are correct in that eclipse has the ability to refactor method signatures, yet each plugin needs to implement and extend this behavior; which, pdt is probably not doing. you could probably join the newsgroup for pdt and see when they are going to have that completed...i have not heard anything on it yet. -- ray _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
