Description swpalmer 2008-09-22 14:12:28 UTC 
Did a rename of a package on my project and it was left in an uncompilable state because:

com.company.thepackage was renamed to com.company.differentpackage

and one file still contained a line that read:

import com.company.thepackage.*;

(This happened to be in the view class for an app using the Swing Application Framework.)
Comment 1 swpalmer 2008-09-22 14:27:35 UTC 
In addityion I am noticing that project.properties was not updated properly.  E.g.:
main.class=com.company.thepackge.MyMainClass
instead of 
main.class=com.company.differentpackge.MyMainClass

Classes used in the form editor were not refactored such that the form could load.  E.g. can't instantiate MyWidegt 
because com.mycompany.thepackage.MyWidget can't be found.
