I'm currently migrating a lot of Documents from DocBook to Asciidoc and have to rename them from .xml to .adoc. Doing this in the Package Explorer always brings the RefactoringWizardDialog2 up. It would be IMHO nicer for the user if simple renames can be done inline and if such popups are only used if necessary, e.g., for refactoring operations.

Rename is *the* refactoring operation ;-). Even if you rename a simple file, it will be a refactoring because there can be rename participants. For example, if that simple file is in a 'build.properties' file, then it will also change that file. Having said that, we also use inline rename inside the Java editor and this can also cause changes in other files. Note that we would first have to fix bug 74892.
I wanted to reopen the discussion of this bug with regards to Lars recent request for me to address this issue. To begin: - How should inline renaming be activated? Double clicking on a project/package currently expands it. - If we make the context menu option (Refactor -> Rename) activate inline editing, how should the user access the (current) refactor wizard?

I change that to "Project Explorer" which current does not use inline renaming for Java files (at least for me). I think the master plan is to enhance Project Explorer and remove Package Explorer at some point.
