Description Gustavo Soares CLA 2012-10-11 15:05:20 EDT 
Eclipse rejects a rename class refactoring. The transformation could be performed with an additional change. 

Steps:

1. Create the classes:

package p1;
import p2.*;

public class A extends C {

}
package p1;

public class B extends A {

}
package p2;

public class C {

}

2. Apply the rename class to rename A to C. Eclipse will show an error: Name conflict with type p2.C. Eclipse could show a warning but also suggest the following transformation:

package p1;
import p2.*;

public class C extends p2.C {

}
package p1;

public class B extends A {

}
package p2;

public class C {

}
