Situation: - Refactoring interface definitions across several maven2 projects, involving changing method names. - Using CTRL+R ("refactor -> rename") on methods in order to change the method name. Expected behaviour: - Name in interface definition being changed accordingly. - All references to the former method name being changed accordingly, including classes that implement that very interface. Outcome: - Method name in interface definition is changed. - Method name in classes implementing that interface aren't changed, subsequently ending up in these interfaces being broken and requiring manual modifications. Could refactor->rename, used on interface method declarations, be used to also change method names in implementing classes?
