Description Marimuthu Ponnambalam CLA 2010-04-12 17:17:42 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100204-0846

Changing the name of a variable in an interface to refactor its references in other classes are not available.

An option Like Change method signature to refactor variables in an interface would be huge productivity gain.

Also refactoring references of public variables in a class/interface would also be more appropriate in many cases.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a static variable in a class A
2. Use the static variable in class B
3. Retry to refactor it, there is no way refactor its references in class B

Selecting the variable and clicking on Refactor->Rename should work in this particular case. Make sure that you do an enter after you give the new name. If that doesn't work, please give the testcase.
