Parameters Page for the Rename Field Refactoring Command
- In the Enter new name text field, type a new name for the field that you're renaming.
- If you do not want to update references to the renamed field, deselect the Update references to the renamed element checkbox.
- If you want to update Javadoc references to the renamed field, select the Update references in Javadoc comments checkbox.
- If you want to update references in regular (not Javadoc) comments, select the Update references in regular comments checkbox.
- If you want to update references in string literals, select the Update references in string literals checkbox.
-
If the refactoring finds accessor (getter/setter) methods to the field you're renaming, it offers you to rename them as well (and update all references to them):
- If you want to rename the getter, select the Rename Getter checkbox
- If you want to rename the setter, select the Rename Setter checkbox
- Click OK to perform a quick refactoring, or click Preview to perform a controlled refactoring.
Note: The refactoring detects getters / setters using preferences
set on Window > Preferences > Java > Code Generation
preference page.
Note: References in Javadoc comments, regular comments and string
literals are updated based on textual matching. It is recommended that you perform
a controlled refactoring and review the suggested changes if you select one of
these options.
