Seam Refactoring Scenarios:

1. Renaming a Seam component in *.java

Java Editor Pop-up menu -> Seam Refactor -> Rename Seam Component.

Then a standart Eclipse refactoring wizard is opend. We can see all previews and disable/enable particular changes there. This wizard shows references to this components to be affected:

• @Name("<newName>") in Seam component .java sorce
  
• <component name="<newName>" .../> in components.xml
  
• EL in *.java strings, *.jsp, *.xhtml, *.xml, *.properties. E.g. #{<oldName>.property} -> #{<newName>.property}.
• @In. E.g. @In SomeClass <oldName> -> @In SomeClass <newName>; @In("<oldName>") SomeClass field -> @In("<newName>") SomeClass field.

        In case of using a field/method name as context variable name (@In SomeClass someVariable) we should use JDT refactoring to rename the field/method name. E.g. @In SomeClass <oldName>; ... <oldName>.getItem();... -> @In SomeClass <newName>; ... <newName>.getItem();...

• @Factory. I think we should suggest to rename factories for context variables with the same name. E.g. @Factory("<oldName>") -> @Factory("<newName>"); @Factory public Item get<oldName>() {..} -> @Factory public Item get<newName>() {..}
• Factory name in components.xml. E.g. <factory name="<oldName>" /> -> <factory name="<newName>" />
  
• property names in seam.properties. E.g. <oldName>.property1 = ... -> <newName>.property1 = ...

2. Renaming a Seam component in components view

Seam Components View -> Pop-up menu for a component.

Then we open the same wizard which we use in 1.

3. Renaming a Seam component in components.xml

Components.xml editor -> Pop-up menu for <component> element.

Then we open the same wizard which we use in 1.

4. Renaming a Seam context variable in EL

It should work in java, xml, jsp, xhtml and property editors for files in Seam projects

When user select Seam context variable in EL Pop-up menu -> Seam Refactor -> Rename Seam Context Variable appears

When user select this munu item we open the similar wizard which we use in 1.

• Renaming a Seam component
  

same as in 1.

• Renaming a Factory
• rename declarations of factory
• rename references in java annotations and EL
  

• Renaming a Out/DataModel
• rename annotations
• rename references in java annotations and EL

5. Renaming a properties of Seam context variable in EL

• TBD
  

6. Renaming a Seam context variable in @In

• TBD
