Reconstruction using Eclipse

In project development, we often need to modify the class name, but if other classes depend on the class, we need to spend a lot of time to change the class name.

But Eclipse dependencies reconstruction function can automatically detect and modify the class name of the class, to help us save a lot of time.

Reconstruction is available through the following ways to open the menu:

  • Right-click the Java element in the Package Explorer view and select Refactor (reconstruction) menu item
  • class-refactor
  • In the Java Editor, right-click Java element and select Refactor (reconstruction) menu item
  • Select the Java element in the Package Explorer view and press Shift + Alt + T
