Eclipse Refactoring

Question

I am trying to change my code from Java Utility Logging to Log4J2. To change the code I want to use code refactoring in Eclipse. For example change : import java.util.logging.Logger; to import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager; Logger to LogManager. I am new to code refactoring in eclipse have not done so in large project with more than 1000 Classes. Can you please guide me how to go about it.

Answer 1

That is beyond Eclipse's "Refactor" capabilities. What can do is use the Search > File capabilities, which allows you to search and replace in your entire workspace or in selected packages. Look for an example in your code and use that as a pattern for your search. Make sure the search pattern is as specific as possible, to avoid unwanted changes.

Bottom line, it's still a manual process.
