Eclipse provides a re-factor facility by which a change in
a class/file name is automatically reflected in all the affected classes/files
in the projects.
·
Rename
You
should perform rename as a normal operation in Eclipse. This operation might
need to modify other files, as these may have references to the class defined
by this file. In case of renaming a folder, the package name has to be changed
for the files contained in it. As a result of this operation, all the files
that need to be modified will be checked out automatically if they are not
checked out already.
·
Move
Move
is used to change the package location of java classes. Move also affects the
project files. Therefore, dependent files must be checked out. The integration
will automatically check out the dependent files.
·
Rename Project
This
operation does not affect any class files. The only file that gets modified is .project file. If .project file is not checked out,
the rename project operation will automatically check out this file. The
project is renamed in Eclipse only. This operation does not change the Synergy
project name.
·
Move Project
To
move a project linked to Synergy, perform a Eclipse
move operation on the project and provide a new location for the project. Your
project will be moved to this new location. This operation will change the work
area of the project in the Synergy repository.
