Eclipse: how to rename a class name globally?

[Chrix Wu]

Hi folks,

i want to rename a variable/class gobally, in the whole project, is that possible?

i use shift+alt+r, but the renaming is only in the class scope.

please suggest, thanks.

If you have a check mark in "Update references" it should do it.

Otherwise you can do a File Search (Search->File...) and then replace the found context.
