Dear All,

Task definition :
I have to rename a method name. customizedAddMethod to renamedAddMethod.

I/p :

void customizedAddMethod(){
// do something
}

o/p

void renamedAddMethod(){
// do something
}

This was the sample piece of code written for it:

ASTRewrite create = ASTRewrite.create(ast);

IASTNode replacementNode = create.createLiteralNode("renamedAddMethod");

rewrite.replace(methodNameNode, replacementNode, null);

translationUnit.save(null, true);

The execution went fine, but nothing seemed to reflect in the file.

I am unable to track the flow why its not getting reflected.
Could someone help me out in this.

Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeesh. P

hi all,

createLiteralNode(String literal);
It is used for inserting literal code by means of the rewrite facility. The node will never appear in an AST tree.

Then how we can insert our code? Can somebody help me by giving an example.

Thanks in advance.
