[news.eclipse.tools] Moving a java package

["Jonathan Gossage" <jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to move a java package to a new place in our package structure
using M5 and I tried to use the Refactor->Move dialog from both the Java
perspective and the Java Browser perspective to do this. I was then
presented with a navigation dialog that pointed to the root of my source
tree but did not allow me to navigate any further. I am using file links so
the entries displayed in the move dialog are in fact links to other
underlying directories.

It appears that it is not possible to perform this refactoring from within
Eclipse at this time. Am I missing something obvious or missing some other
mechanism do do this refactoring? If it is not currently possible, I will
enter a feature request.

Regards
