Description tomzi 2011-07-06 13:40:23 UTC 
Steps:
.) I create a class eg Myclass.java under 'Source Packages' and another class MyOtherClass.java under 'Test Packages' which creates an instance of Myclass.
,) I refactor Myclass to MyClass
-> Refactoring worked just fine, however suddenly Netbeans does not recognize MyClass anymore (Error: 'Cannot find symbol ... MyClass')

.) I refactor this class back again to Myclass 
-> Myclass is perfectly renamed back again
-> In MyOtherClass however I still have my old reference to MyClass

I also sometime got an error with this second step saying ?!Class or Object already exist...?! or something similar

I am working with maven and:

Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201106041000)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_25
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.0-b11

Cannot reproduce on Mac. Maybe Windows specific (Windows file system is not case sensitive)
Comment 2 Jan Lahoda 2011-10-17 09:09:08 UTC 
Possibly a duplicate of bug #198565? Could you please try on 7.0.1? Thanks.
Comment 3 Jan Becicka 2011-10-21 14:14:23 UTC 
Jirko, can you reproduce it on Windows?
