Description Larsen Doe CLA 2006-06-20 04:46:58 EDT 
It would be comfortable to have the ability to change the type of an object via a refactoring tool.

For exampe, change an object from type InputStreamReader to BufferedReader:

//	private InputStreamReader isr;
	private BufferedReader isr;

//			isr = new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream());
			isr = new BufferedReader(sock.getInputStream());

//	public InputStreamReader getIsr() {
//		return isr;
//	}
	public BufferedReader getIsr() {
		return isr;
	}

In this case a local rename (CTRL + 1) on the type name probably does the job.

oh, yes. thank you!
doesn´t work for String or int but this is already useful
