[dev-200508111800, JDK 1.5.0_04] User can rename component variable through its properties on panel Code (take a look at attached screenshot). Such rename should invoke refactoring operation too.

Form module should be able to handle this.
Hear hear. If you need to rename a field declared in a form, it is at best a 2 step process - refactor and rename, folloed by rename in the form. If you are unlucky, it is more steps than this because you have to then rename the field in every code snippet. This is tedious and error prone.
I think this is duplicate for issue 48288, or not?
Have no strong opinion about this. Can be considered a duplicate of 48288 in the sense that we need to make the GUI builder cooperate when refactoring happens. OTOH initiating the refactoring from GUI builder can be viewed as an additional request. In either case, 48288 must be done first.
Done together with issue 48288.
