Description malfunction84 2008-05-01 19:49:26 UTC 
Refactoring a method parameter name does not change the javadoc comments on that method.  It should change existing 
@param elements to whatever the new method names are.  This ought to be a relatively simple fix.

Down the road, perhaps refactoring a parameter name could also search existing javadoc comments in that project for 
references to that parameter and change them as well.  It would need a preview mode, much like refactoring the name of 
a non-private method.

Have you checked 'Apply rename on Comments' checkbox in refactoring rename?
Comment 2 malfunction84 2008-05-05 14:43:00 UTC 
That option doesn't exist for the "instant rename" feature, which is what comes up when you attempt to refactor a 
method parameter name.  "Instant rename" should also instantly rename the @param elements instead of leaving you with 
code that generates two javadoc warnings.

I see, then it's duplicate of issue 102669
