Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2001-10-10 23:08:42 EDT 
This feature would be quite useful.

NOTES:
EG (26.09.2001 11:50:51)
	Lower prio, since refactoring is a better way
	to make global changes.

CM (10/2/2001 3:40:55 PM)
	Doesn't help when I have to make a bunch of comment changes <g>.
Comment 1 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2001-10-16 11:15:27 EDT 
moved to 'active'
Comment 2 Erich Gamma CLA 2001-11-11 15:41:35 EST 
refactoring now also allows to update the names in comments when doing renames -
defer
Comment 3 Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2001-11-11 23:30:23 EST 
This request cannot really be solved by refactoring.
Say I have to update all of the copyright notices in my project,
or change a particular string to something else in all javadoc comments.
Comment 4 Jared Burns CLA 2002-05-01 15:38:42 EDT 
I've had to do this sort of thing (update all the copyrights in a few packages)
and it is really painful without this feature.
Comment 5 rolarenfan CLA 2002-05-02 22:24:08 EDT 
Yep, I agree this would be very useful (and is present in many far simpler 
IDE-like things)
Comment 6 David Whiteman CLA 2002-05-03 11:13:08 EDT 
I agree - quite useful.  Currently I can only do this via a third party tool 
such as BkReplaceEm
Comment 7 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-05-14 10:19:50 EDT 
reconsidering for 2.0
Comment 8 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-05-14 10:20:16 EDT 
fixed in 20020514
