I wanted to change a variable name of a UI component (JTextField, JButton,..) that is also used in my hand written code (e.g. event handlers). I have to change it in the property sheet and then do find/replace. When I tried refactoring on the field (in guarded block) the refactoring was enabled and changed all the references to the variable but not the variable declaration itself. IMO the property change should automatically start a refactoring. Refactoring in the code should change the property on the form.
