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?
Created attachment 62603 [details] var/log/messages.log
I found out how to attach the file.
