Description muellermi 2015-07-12 20:10:11 UTC
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201507060001)
Operating System = Windows 8 version 6.2 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_45
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.45-b02

Given a JSF page

<h:inputText value="#{myBean.myProperty}"/>

The Java context is well known (autocomplete, goto source etc. works fine).
Place caret onto myProperty. Right click, context menu allows "Rename".
But, if you try to rename, NB only alerts "Rename cannot be applied to this context"

Same error, when you try to rename an action method.

I thought, I filed this bug before, but I couldn't find during a quick research. Thus, it seems to be a first report. Sorry if not.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
