Have you check "Apply Rename on Comments" checkbox? I'm doing "instant rename", i.e. pressing CMD+R (on a Mac) when the cursor is placed on the thing (field, method, etc) I want to rename. No dialog is shown. Also, the checkbox "Apply Rename on Comments" only seems to do a string replace, which may be wrong. It should _analyze_ the Javadoc.
Say that I have the following code:
/** MyClass is really cool. Call {@link #cool} whenever. */
public class MyClass {
public void cool() { ... }
}
Then I want to rename (refactor) the method "cool" to "stupid". I do not want to update my javadoc to say that "MyClass is really stupid", I only want to
update the link.
The problem with instant rename is duplicate of issue 102669. The string replace is as designed, so it works in all types of comments. You can turn off some replacements in preview. -> I'm changing the summary and switching this issue to enhancement. |
In the following code: /** MyClass. Call {@link #foo} whenever. */ public class MyClass { public void foo() { ... } } When renaming (refactor) the method foo, the javadoc link "{@ #foo}" does not get updated. The same goes for renaming fields and classes.
