Say third party library Beautify
renames one of their methods from beauty
to makeBeautiful
because they want the method to be a verb and by some lack of initial planning didn't do this from the start.
Now, I use this beauty
method a lot... how do I rename all occurrences of it to makeBeautiful
without doing a plain string search and replace? Is there a name for this type of refactoring? Do any tools support it?
I'm particularly interested in Java solutions, but if I can at least get a name for the refactoring type that would be great.
beauty
method and then rename/refactor it tomakeBeautiful
. Your IDE can do this for you.
