| Renaming a type |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| You can rename a type by modifying its declaration in the compilation unit in which it is declared. However, if you also want to update all references to |
| it, do one of the following: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| In a Java view presenting types (e.g. the Outline view, the Type Hierarchy views, etc.) select a type. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| From the type's pop-up menu, select <strong>Refactor</strong> > <strong>Rename</strong> or use the |
| <strong>Refactor</strong> > <strong>Rename</strong> action from the global menu bar. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| or |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| In a Java editor, select a reference to the type. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| From the editor's pop-up menu, select <strong>Refactor</strong> > <strong>Rename</strong> or use the |
| <strong>Refactor</strong> > <strong>Rename</strong> action from the global menu bar. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
