User development, The document "JBossTools 3.x/4 Seam Refactoring", was updated Jan 20, 2010 by Max Andersen. To view the document, visit: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13479#cf Document: --------------------------------------------------------------      See https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-1077.   Seam Refactoring Scenarios:   *1.* *Renaming a Seam component in *.java*   Java Editor Pop-up menu -> Seam Refactor -> Rename Seam Component. Then a standart Eclipse refactoring wizard is opend. We can see all previews and disable/enable particular changes there. This wizard shows references to this components to be affected: * @Name("<newName>") in Seam component .java sorce * <component name="<newName>" .../> in components.xml * EL in *.java strings, *.jsp, *.xhtml, *.xml, *.properties. +E.g. #{<oldName>.property} -> #{<newName>.property}+. * @In. +E.g. @In SomeClass <oldName> -> @In SomeClass <newName>; @In("<oldName>") SomeClass field -> @In("<newName>") SomeClass field.+         In case of using a field/method name as context variable name (@In SomeClass someVariable) we should use JDT refactoring to rename the field/method name+. E.g. @In SomeClass <oldName>; ... <oldName>.getItem();... ->+ +@In SomeClass <newName>; ... <newName>.getItem();...+ * @Factory. I think we should suggest to rename factories for context variables with the same name. +E.g. @Factory("<oldName>") -> @Factory("<newName>"); @Factory public Item get<oldName>() {..} -> @Factory public Item get<newName>() {..}+ * Factory name in components.xml. +E.g. <factory name="<oldName>" /> -> <factory name="<newName>" />+ * property names in seam.properties. +E.g. <oldName>.property1 = ... -> <newName>.property1 = ...+   *2. Renaming a Seam component in components view*   Seam Components View -> Pop-up menu for a component. Then we open the same wizard which we use in *1.*   *3. Renaming a Seam component in components.xml*   Components.xml editor -> Pop-up menu for <component> element. Then we open the same wizard which we use in *1.*   *4. Renaming a Seam context variable in EL*   It should work in java, xml, jsp, xhtml and property editors for files in Seam projects   When user select Seam context variable in EL Pop-up menu -> Seam Refactor -> Rename Seam Context Variable appears When user select this munu item we open the similar wizard which we use in *1.*   * Renaming a Seam component same as in *1.*   * Renaming a Factory ** rename declarations of factory ** rename references in java annotations and EL   * Renaming a Out/DataModel ** rename annotations ** rename references in java annotations and EL   *5. Renaming a properties of* *Seam* *context variable in EL*   * TBD   *6. Renaming a Seam context variable in @In*   * TBD --------------------------------------------------------------
