Description arittner 2009-06-05 12:47:03 UTC 
IMHO it's a bug, not a feature/enhancement. Please correct me if I'm wrong ;-)

Class and Interface renaming does not respect the Service Loader API with configuration files in META-INF/services in
standard Java projects. 

best regards, josh.
Comment 1 David Strupl 2009-09-24 16:06:58 UTC 
For standard Java projects this is a low priority issue ...
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2010-10-14 10:59:52 UTC 
This is about standard Java projects, not apisupport projects (which anyway use @ServiceProvider these days).
Comment 3 rov63rus 2012-07-09 06:00:53 UTC 
I can't create META-INF/services package in J2SE projects and so can't use service API! Wizard deny this.

I think it's a serious issue!

You can create the META-INF/services folder using New File->Other->Folder. Please create a new issue if this does not work, or should work differently. This issue is about Rename Refactoring.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
