Selecting files for refactoring [message #1017838]

Hi,

I'm using Eclipse Juno SR2 for editing C++ code. The list of projects imported into Eclipse includes:
a. References to read-only global source repository, indexed to be used for global searches
b. Read-write copy of a small part of the repository (one or more sub-projects) that are currently edited in developer's workspace

When refactoring is run on an entity in a read-write source file, the procedure scans all the projects imported and finds read-only references to the files containing entities affected by the refactoring. The following message is generated then:
File '/path/file.cc' is read-only. Do you wish to make it writable?

The read-only file comes from the referenced global source repository, so I cannot make it writable and the following error message is generated:
A fatal error occurred while performing the refactoring
- File '/path/file.cc' is read-only

I could not find a workaround for this problem. In Eclipse Galileo that we used previously, one could select the list of files to be refactored and read-only files were not considered a fatal error for the refactoring procedure.

I would appreciate your guidance on how to resolve or work around this problem.

Thank you in advance,
Giga

The major difference in refactoring between Galileo and Juno is that the former has "Scope of refactoring" feature allowing to select "related projects", thus the search can only be performed in read-write projects. In Juno, this feature is missing and instead there's "Exhaustive (slow) file search in" option (see the images below).

Can a scope of refactoring be specified in Eclipse Juno for C++ code?

Thank you
Giga
