I have a class that contains an inner class which I now wish to make into another top-level class in the package. In Netbeans 3.6, I would have expanded the nodes the relevant Explorer filesystem down to the inner class, right-clicked and Cut, then Paste on the package/directory's Explorer node. In 4.0 I can't do this, as the class nodes only have Open and Delete options (only the .java file node has Cut & Copy). I'm assuming this is because moving classes should be done with the Refactor options now (please reassign the issue to a more relevant category if this is not the case), however, the "Refactor -> Move Class" option is disabled on the inner class. So it appears there's no quick way to move an inner class anywhere else - I had to resort to Find Usages, create a new class, cut & paste the code in the editor, then amend the other classes which had been affected...
We have proposal for this. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 56475 ***
