Description Aaron Digulla CLA 2009-04-28 08:24:29 EDT 
When you copy and paste a file in the Package Explorer, after the paste, the original file is still selected instead of the new copy. It would be better to select the new file(s) instead since I probably want to do something with them (like opening them for editing).

Package Explorer is JDT UI.
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2009-04-28 11:51:59 EDT 
Navigator has same behavior. They should be kept in sync.
Comment 3 Markus Keller CLA 2009-04-28 14:24:36 EDT 
Same problem after drag and drop (with copy and with move operations).

Patch does not work and has compile errors, but I need to suspend work I started on this.

A problem is that we need to handle 2 different cases, which can even occur at the same time:

a) Paste creates files, folders, Java elements
   => need to select the new elements in Package Explorer, etc. *after* they have been pasted. Nontrivial part is to find the new elements.

b) Paste adds text to a single compilation unit
   => need to open the editor *before* executing the refactoring, such that the user can easily undo the change
