Description Markus Keller CLA 2004-11-05 11:47:48 EST 
Now that we have included/excluded packages and types for each plugin, we should
warn users when they try to refactor API.

For refactroings on methods, we could even offer a checkbox 'Preserve existing
API': Change Method Signature, Introduce Parameter, Rename, Move (static).

Good point
Comment 2 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2004-12-23 12:49:01 EST 
If we do something here we should do it consistent.

Unclear if we can do something for 3.1
