Class rename does not update generic references

[mauromol]

Consider the following:

package test20
class MyBean {}

And:

package test20
class Test20 {
	List<MyBean> list
}

Now rename MyBean to MyBean2: the reference to MyBean type in the declaration of Test20.list is not updated with the new name.

It all comes down to the indexing performed by org.codehaus.jdt.groovy.integration.internal.GroovyIndexingVisitor. If I add an import, the file gets identified by the indexing search for further AST searching. GroovyIndexingVisitor.visitField has the type visitation commented out.

Ready to test.

Hi Eric,
the latest version that gets downloaded if I do "check for updates" is 3.0.0.xx-201801262137-e47, which still exhibits this problem.

I forgot to mention that you will need to rebuild your Java indexes for this change to help. The rename relies on the indexes to determine what to search for references. The indexing was improved and so a new index should result in more possible matches.

I tried to clean the Groovy project the test case is in (in order to make Eclipse rebuild it from scratch), isn't it enough to rebuild the index?

Also, your "ready to test" comment was published on 2018-01-27, the latest snapshot is from 2018-01-26... isn't it a snapshot publish problem?

Cleaning does not rebuild the index. There is a button under Window > Preferences > Java to do so.

Ok, thank you, seems to work now, after rebuilding the index. I really thought a complete project rebuild would cause the index to be rebuilt as well.
Thanks!
