Description William Leonard 2005-01-05 22:05:36 UTC 
When renaming a class, the old <filename>.class
files should be deleted. I ran into a frustrating
problem where I had a <ClassName>Test.java, which
I renamed because I was going to create a JUnit
test which would have the same name. The JUnit
test, being in the same package (but different
directory) failed with "No tests found in
<ClassName>Test". It took me awhile to figure out
that there was still and old <ClassName>Test.class
laying around in the build/classes directory. My
first thought was that something was wrong with
the JUnit execution, and others will likely run
into the same problem.

Not sure, what is the right module for this issue.
Anyway, refactoring just does DataObject.rename(). Project system
takes care of .class files. Can you evaluate this issue? Thanks
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2005-01-16 10:58:15 UTC 
The clean up after refactoring should be done by refactoring itself,
otherwise it would be necessary for all project types to depend on the
refactoring module.
Comment 3 Jan Becicka 2005-01-17 14:34:02 UTC 
This should be handled probably in JDO.handleRename()
Comment 4 Tomas Zezula 2005-01-28 11:05:39 UTC 
The question is if we want to do it at all, the user is able to do the
real clean (probably WANTFIX)
Comment 5 Jan Becicka 2005-01-28 12:20:35 UTC 
I agree with Tomas. IDE will never ensure, that all classes are
up-to-date unless user do clean-build. We are sorry, but this issue is
WONTFIX.
