Description vidhyadharantechdays 2012-05-07 09:21:26 UTC 
Refactor is not applying for a string. 

For example suppose i am declaring a sting like this

package com.netcat.test.*;

class AllTest{
.
.
.
.
.
String className = "com.netcat.test.JustForTest";
.
.
.
..
}
if i rename the package to "com.netcat.api.test", the refactor should rename the string as well.

I don't see the point there. String could have practically any possible value and it seems like crazy to try to scan through all of string values (from the performance side).

The only case which makes sense is the case when Class.forName() with string literal will be used.
Comment 2 vidhyadharantechdays 2012-05-08 14:58:49 UTC 
No it will make sense. I saw an IDE which has this feature.
