Eclipse Refactoring Menu

Using Eclipse Refactoring

In project development, we often need to change class names, but when other classes depend on this class, we have to spend a lot of time modifying the class names.

However, Eclipse's refactoring feature can automatically detect class dependencies and modify class names, saving us a lot of time.

You can open the refactoring menu through the following methods:

• Right-click the Java element in the Package Explorer view and select the Refactor menu item.

• Right-click the Java element in the Java editor and select the Refactor menu item.

• Select the Java element in the Package Explorer view and press Shift + Alt + T.

After pressing the Enter key upon completion, the class that will be modified will pop up:

You just need to click the Continue button to complete the operation.
