Refactor/Rename not updating references [message #272679]

When I use Refactor/Rename to rename a class and I check Update
References. the references to the class being renamed are not updated.
I'm fairly sure this worked before, what could be wrong?

try searching for references to the class.
if none is found then it's a search engine problem. if they are - it's
probably a refactoring problem.
in either case - report to buzilla and include as many details as you can.

Thanks. So I am doing nothing wrong? I was not imagining that it is
supposed to work this way?

If I do a "File Search" then it finds all occurances of my class
"GpsDevice". But it only finds the actual class in a "Java Search" if I
pick constructor in "Search Options". It does not find any occurances to
"GpsDevice" no matter the options that I pick under "Search Options".

What should I do to find all references to "GpsDevice" under Search/Java?

i was not sayig you did anything wrong. i meant that as investigation
questions. it is supposed to work as you did it - you select a class, ro
'refactor' and things get updated.

don't select the constructor - that searches for references to the
constructor.

to search for reference to a clas - select the class.

I did not mean to say you said I was doing something wrong. I was
assuming that I did something wrong. I wanted to confirm that I was not
doing anything wrong.

OK figured it out. I selected the class in the Package Explorer and then
selected Search/References/Project and it finds all the references to the
class.
