Summary: "Assign Return Value To New Value" applies "is*" handling to constructors
Product: java Reporter: matthies <matthies>

Description matthies 2015-12-04 17:10:59 UTC 
Example:

    class Example
    {
        void example()
        {
            new Isdn();
        }
    }

    class Isdn { }

Applying "Assign Return Value To New Value" to "new Isdn()" results in:

    class Example
    {
        void example()
        {
            Isdn dn = new Isdn();
        }
    }

    class Isdn { }

The expected result would be to name the variable "isdn" instead of "dn". Handling "is" as a boolean prefix does not make sense for constructor invocations.

The actual utility that tries to guess the name is in java.editor.

I prepared a patch - it tries to use the Tree where the identifier came from for better decision.
