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.
To reproduce: 1. Create a Java Project 2. Go to project explorer 3. Invoke properties dialog using "Properties" popup menu item on any java file and rename the name property and click OK. Observe: The file name changes but the refactoring does not kick in.
May be "as designed". Passing on...
Definitely not P2
Renaming through property sheets disabled if refactoring is available. Checking in JavaNode.java; /cvs/java/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/JavaNode.java,v <-- JavaNode.java new revision: 1.140; previous revision: 1.139 done
Looks like the fix disables the rename if there is rename handler. I think this is not a fix for the original issue. Please attach a link to the spec which specifies that the renaming will be disabled when there is a rename handler (i.e. it is "as desined"). Only in some cases - unknowable to the user the rename will be disabled. It feels strange from HIE point of view.
On the other hand, there is no document specifying, that renaming through property sheets *should* kick off refactoring ;) Checking in JavaNode.java; /cvs/java/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/JavaNode.java,v <-- JavaNode.java new revision: 1.141; previous revision: 1.140 done
