renaming a Class member [message #689898]

I want to rename a Class member name using the Refactor -> Rename option so Eclipse will take care of the getters and setters for me. When I choose that option from the Outline pane I get the message "The resource is not on the buildpath of the Java Project". What do I need to add to make this work?

Andy,

Check the Java properties of your Java project to find out what's the
source folder. Make sure all your *.java files are nested under that
folder (with appropriate intermediate folders to match the qualified
package name).

If you are referring to the Properties:JavaBuildPath, when I try to add my source directory with the "Add Folder" button I get the error "File /PPR_TV/.classpath is read-only." Confused

Is it read only? You can turn off filtering of .* files to see it in
the Navigator...

It's working now. I don't know why. Also my Project explorer is now showing me Classes and members. Before it was just showing a java file. Thanks for your replies. Cool
