Hi , 

Please classify . 

When invoking Refactor->Rename on a class name in a definition of a member (field or method ) we actually want to change
the definition of that member . Refactor will try to change as much as possible affected code. 


i.e : 

... 
private String foo;

public String getFoo(){
          return foo;
}
.....


invoking refactor rename on String before foo field and enter Integer will change to: 

... 
private Integer foo;

public Integer getFoo(){
          return foo;
}
.....

an idea would be to let the user choose between actual rename ( changing the class name ) and behavior described here. 

Thanks.

Reassigning to refactoring for evaluation.
