Description kawazu428 2009-01-21 12:53:50 UTC 
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?
