Description yrozijn 2008-06-10 10:35:57 UTC

When trying to use refactoring to change the name of an abstract method that is used and overridden in various other 
classes of my project, I pretty much immediately get the message "Module Java Refactoring threw 
java.lang.NullPointerException". That is before I could enter the new name.
This is reproducable (at least, today. Lately I frequently run into the possibly related problem of "Find usages" not 
always finding all usages, which I think has already been reported. The next time it then works ok; maybe this problem 
will be gone too the next time?).
Now I found the var/log/messages.log file, but how do I attach it? Do I have to include its contents here?
