This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
This report is copied from issue 83483: IDE 6.0 Preview (M9, build 070502) 1.6.0-dp; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0-b88-17-release Mac OS X version 10.4.9 running on i386 - refactoring doesn't do *anything*. I selected the class name, selected refactor > rename...; the dialog appeared; enter the new name; press Refactor; the dialog box closes, the file is unchanged.
Can you provide more info, please? Are there any exception in the log? Is this problem specific for certain file or is general? How exactly did you called the refactoring?
I tried it again today and the refactoring works. The software or OS X must have been in a strange state. I'll be a little more careful to check the logs next time.
