| Introduce Indirection does nothing on a .class file [message #522786] |

I want to replace all calls to org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.DialogPage.setButtonLayoutData() with calls to a new method that I've written in my own class. I open DialogPage.class (It's listed in my plug-in's plug-in dependencies) and right click on the method name, hit Refactor-> Introduce Indirection... and nothing happens.
Any way to get this to work? Or another way to do what I want to do? Thanks.

A refactor is a change to source code. A .class file is a compiled binary file,
although when you open it, Eclipse will try to locate the source that it was
compiled from and show you the source.
Are you saying that you want to edit the JFace implementation, that is,
DialogPage.java? That doesn't sound like a good idea to me unless you're
planning on contributing the change back to Eclipse, but if you really want to
you can; to do that, import the plugin's source code into your project as a
source project.
If you're saying that you want to actually modify the .class file itself, rather
than modifying the source and then recompiling, I don't believe that Eclipse
will do that for you. You may be able to do it with a bytecode modification
program, such as BCEL, ASM, AspectWorkz, etc.

No, I am saying I want to edit MY code that calls the JFace code.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I want to change MY code that references this class file.
For example, if this code appears in my class, which is a subclass of DialogPage:
this.setButtonLayoutData(button)
I want to replace it with:
NewUtilityClass.setButtonLayoutData(button) |

Oh, I understand - my apologies for misreading your request.
Is it only happening for calls to binary methods (methods in .class files)?
