 			better able to search and refactor source code that contains

 			<br />
 			There are some caveates, however. Wild cards are not supported. Also,
 			type bindings are sometimes not respected, meaning that two types
 			with the same name, but different packages may be inappropriately
 			matched.</td>

 		<tr>
 			<td valign="top"><b>Rename refactoring</b></td>
 			<td>Rename refactoring is working in almost all situations.
 			Intertype declarations can be renamed; fields, methods, and types
 			referenced inside of Aspects will be appropriately renamed; and AJ
 			Compilation units will be renamed when appropriate. Most of this work
 			was completed for the <a href="../whatsnew210/index.html">2.1.0
 			release</a>, with some small fixes included in this release. The most
 			significant improvement in this area is that package renames are
 			properly reflected in the import statements and fully qualified names
 			of AJ compilation units. <br />
 			<br />
 			<img /> <br />
 			<br />
 			AJDT does not currently support the renaming of named pointcuts.</td>
 		</tr>

 		<tr>
 			<td valign="top"><b>Move refactoring</b></td>
 			<td>Similarly, move refactoring is AspectJ-aware. Import
 			statements and fully qualified names will be properly updated in
 			Aspects when types and compilation units move. It is also possible to
 			drag and drop types, fields, and methods into aspects, with the same
 			behavior as you would expect when the project is pure Java.</td>
 		</tr>

 		<tr>
 			<td valign="top"><b>Pull-out refactoring enhancements</b></td>
 			<td>It is now possible to choose a non-existant aspect as the
 			target of a Pull-out refactoring. This aspect will be created as part
 			of the refactoring operation.</td>
 		</tr>


 		<tr>
 			<td valign="top"><b>Catalog of working refactorings in AJ
 			files</b></td>
 			<td>In this release, we have done significant work in making
 			sure that the standard JDT refactorings are available when inside an
 			Aspect. We have focussed on the more widely used refactorings, and
 			left some of the less popular refactorings unimplemented. In addition
 			to the AspectJ-specific <strong>Push in</strong> abd <strong>Pull
 			out</strong> refactorings, and the standard <strong>Rename</strong> and <strong>Move</strong>here
 			are the JDT refactorings that are currently known to work in AJDT:

 			<ul>
 				<li>Push Down</li>
 				<li>Extract Class</li>
 				<li>Pull up</li>
 				<li>Push down</li>
 				<li>Use super type where possible</li>
 				<li>Inline</li>
 				<li>Extract Method</li>
 				<li>Extract Local Variable</li>
 				<li>Extract Constant</li>
 				<li>Introduce indirection</li>
 				<li>Introduce parameter (non-advice)</li>
 			</ul>

 			The following refactorings will produce correct results, even though
 			the refactoring wizard complains about compilation errors:
 			<ul>
 				<li>Change method signature</li>
 				<li>Introduce Parameter Object (inside non-ITD method)</li>
 			</ul>

 			And finally, the following refactorings produce errors and do not
 			work inside aspects:

 			<ul>
 				<li>Extract super class</li>
 				<li>Infer generic arguments where possible</li>
 				<li>Introduce Parameter (inside advice)</li>
 				<li>Introduce Parameter Object</li>
 				<li>Convert Local variable to a field</li>
 				<li>Encapsulate field</li>
 			</ul>

 			If you want us to fix any of the above refactorings, or you notice a
 			problem with one of the existing refactorings, please notify us on
 			the mailing list or raise a bugzilla request for it.</td>
