Description rherschke 2012-04-11 11:59:12 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.0.1 (Build 201107282000)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.7.3 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_31
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.6-b01-414

Step's to reproduce:

- create two classes A and B
- in Class B create a javadoc comment as follows:
{code}
/**
 * {@link A}
 */
{code}
- rename Class A to C

Expected Result:
- the javadoc in Class B must be as follows:
{code}
/**
 * {@link C}
 */
{code}

Current Result:
- the javadoc is the same (with a wrong link to Class A)
Comment 1 rherschke 2015-02-16 14:22:40 UTC 
Does not work!

If there is no field nor any other reference to Class A inside Class B except in the javadoc, the @link is not renamed. 

So it is still an unresolved issue.
Comment 2 Ralph Ruijs 2015-02-16 14:38:29 UTC 
References in javadoc are not handled by java's indexer. Reassigning to java-source.

The issue persists in NetBeans 8.1 and causes several problems in maintaining 
updated and correct javadocs.
