如何在Spring Tool Suite中重命名文件

Question

In Spring Tool Suite, I have a project open and want to rename a .java file. I click the file then File > Rename and rename the file. I see the file name updates in the left pane (Project Explorer) but then it quickly changes back to the old file name.

Any one know how to accomplish this or what's wrong?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you're running into but the following works for me.

Step 1.

Step 2.

Step 3.

Answer 2

Easiest way to rename a class in eclipse:

1. Mark the class in the project explorer
2. Press F2
3. Rename as you like in the dialog box
4. OK

Answer 3

You will need to use:

1. Refactor
2. Rename

And also make sure that you change the class name

Answer 4

Open the class file you want to rename. In the text editor, double-click on the class name to select it. Now do Alt-Shift-R (or right-click on selected text and select Refactor>Rename in the context menu) and rename the class, then click Enter/Return. The STS Refactor/Renaming wizard should take over and rename both the class and the file from there.

Answer 5

The provided answers would probably work in most cases but not for me. I had to rename the file on disk, refresh the Project Explorer, which picked up the new name. The go back on disk and rename the file to the target name, refresh PE and now all is well.
