I have a field for example,
IField field = ...;
field.rename(newName,false, null);
I realized, after rename method executes, the reference to field is no
more useful, because a new field with the newName is actually created
instead of manipulating the existing field reference. So, my question is
at this point, whether I can get the reference for the newly created
field, and if yes, how? (Of course I can also getType of this field and
then search in this type for the newly created field but I wonder if
there is a shorter way).
Thanks in advance for answering,
Regards,
Sunay

The easiest way to get a handle on the new field is:
field.getDeclaringType().getField(newName)

Thank you Jerome.
So, there is no real direct way to get it, am I right? My IField case
was just actually as an example for renaming by
ISourceManipulation.rename(..). I thought maybe somehow I can directly
get the newly created java elements. In case of package fragments or
types(and maybe more), it is not so straightforward to get the new
element's reference. For an IType for example, I have to check whether
it is top-level(if it is toplevel also the compilation unit gets
renamed...),if not getDeclaringType().getType(newName) is enough, but if
it is toplevel, I should ask the owning package fragment to get the
newly created Compilation unit, and then get the newly created type.

Sunay

Unfortunately there is no other way to get the element created by the rename
operation. Feel free to enter a feature request.
