Build: 20020109 Description: Renaming a local variable using the refactor menu gives a null pointer exception if there is a compiler error in the code. Steps: 1. Open a java file. 2. Change a line of code to contain a syntax error. 3. Select either a local variable or a parameter to a method. 4. Choose the Rename Local Variable... item from the Refactor menu. 5. Here you get an internal error. Stack trace: Log: Tue Jan 15 14:32:08 EST 2002 1 org.eclipse.core.resources 4 Unhandled exception caught in event loop.

it was fixed for 2002 01 11
If there is a compilter error in the code a dialoge appears stating: "The following problem prevents performing the operation.". Good. Verified. - >20020205. JRT. Note: Rename Local Variable now Rename. Note: Better error message would be "The following problem prevents the operation [from being performed]."
