I have a resource bundle that I reference in faces-config with <application> <resource-bundle> <base-name>com.corejsf.messages</base-name> <var>msgs</var> </resource-bundle> </application> I reference the bundle items in buttons etc. in my JSF pages, for example <h:commandButton value="#{msgs.checkAnswer}" action="#{quizBean.answerAction}"/> When I right-click on checkAnswer in messages.properties, I am offered "Rename". It renames the item, but it fails to rename its uses in the JSF pages. I suppose someone somewhere could have installed an evil variable resolver that makes msgs denote something else, so it might be reasonable to ask for confirmation before 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, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
