You can use the refactoring function of the workbench to
rename parts and correct references to those parts.
- In one of the following places, select the part that you want
to rename:
- Place the cursor on the part name in the EGL editor and right-click.
- Right-click the part in the Outline view, Parts List view, or
Parts Reference view.
- For main parts, right-click the file that contains the part in
the Project Explorer view
- In the popup menu, click . The Rename window opens.
- In the Rename window, type a new name for the part, following
EGL naming conventions.
- You can click Preview for a list of the
changes that EGL will make if you proceed.
- If you clear the Update references check
box, EGL will not search other files for references to change. Generally,
select this check box.
- Click OK.
Renaming a part makes the following changes happen:
- EGL changes the name of the part to the new name
- EGL searches the build path for references to that part and changes
the references to match the new name of the part. For example, if
you rename a record part, EGL changes variable declarations to the
new name of the record
- For main parts, EGL changes the name of the file to match the
new part name
- For JSF Handlers, EGL links the JSP file to the new part's file,
but it does not change the name of the JSP file.
- For JSF Handlers, EGL updates references to the part's file in
the faces configuration file.
- For Program parts within an EGL plug-in project, EGL also corrects
the reference to the program in the plugin.xml file.
You cannot rename functions in this way.
