Description Sven Efftinge CLA 2006-06-21 07:02:44 EDT 
It would be cool if the rename refactoring on class and interface names would allow for renaming similar named classes and interfaces.
For instance, if an interface 'MyService' should be renamed it would be cool if 'MyServiceImpl' would also be renamed (optionally).

This would be a nice enhancement for the Rename Similar Elements story.
Comment 2 Tobias Widmer CLA 2006-06-21 07:10:25 EDT 
Markus, is there any reason why this has not been implemented?

Yes, someone has to invest some work.

This is not as trivial as it sounds, since we have to make sure that the story does not break participants. Needs some work, but I don't see insurmountable problems.

Looks like a dup of bug 67326. 

See also my comment (bug 67326 comment 2) there. I tried implementing a solution for this using a RenameParticipant but it's not as easy as it looks. I have a requirement to "force" a rename (or move) of a second interface whenever a certain interface is renamed and or moved.
