Description dlipin 2010-05-27 13:48:04 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create Java Application
2) Select project node in the Projects window
3) Click "Refactor" menu
4) I see Rename, Move, Copy, Safely Delete items there active and Undo/Redo disabled
5) Clicking on any of the active items mentioned above results in "The ... refactoring cannot be applied in this context" message

I would expect the appropriate item be grayed (disabled) other than seeing this unfriendly message.

Not sure about the category, can be general refactoring issue, not the java's one.

The same situation for the case when no projects are opened at all.

Enable/disable logic was too expensive and responsive was poor. We decided to implement it this way. See issue 173786
