| Renaming method parameters |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| You can rename the parameters of a method by renaming the parameter's declaration as well as all references to the parameters inside the method body. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Use the <strong>Change Method Signature</strong> command to rename one or more parameters of a method as well as all references to these parameters. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Select the method in a Java view (the Outline view, for example) |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| From the method's pop-up menu, select <strong>Refactor</strong> > <strong>Change Method Signature</strong> or, from the menu bar, select |
| <strong>Refactor</strong> > <strong>Change Method Signature</strong>.<br> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> these menu entries will no be active if the method has no parameters. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select a parameter, press the <strong>Edit</strong> button, enter a new name for the parameter and press <strong>OK</strong> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| To rename a single parameter, it is often easier to: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Select the parameter in the Java editor. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| From the editor's pop-up menu, select <strong>Refactor</strong> > <strong>Rename</strong> to open the Rename refactoring dialog. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
