This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When working with EJB in NetBeans 4.1, changing something in the code editor for a created method (such as the fucntion name, function type, or parameter type) does not automatically update the corresponding code in other areas of the project, such as with the RemoteBusiness.java file. Sometimes it is easier to delete the method and create a new one using the wizard than to manually locate and make changes throughout the various files in the project. Perhaps this can be improved by the IDE acknowledging that a method has been changed, then searching the project for all related code and updating accordingly. For example, changing a public void to a public int function not just in the current file, but throughout the entire project wherever the original function was referenced to as a protoype. In addition, a preference would need to be created to disable this service if desired by the user.
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
