Description david_cogen 2013-10-08 21:27:13 UTC 
I have a package p.q with lots of classes p.q.c, p.q.d, p.q.e, p.q.f etc.

and a package p.r

I want to move by refactoring, the entire package sub-hierarchy q to become a subpackage of p.r. So I want to end up with:

p.r.q.c
p.r.q.d
p.r.q.e
p.r.q.f

And there is apparently No Way to do this in one step by refactoring.
And when I said "lots of classes" I meant over 100. And the only way I have found to do this by Refactor is to do a Refactor/Move on each of the classes c,d,e,f, etc individually. And this takes a LONG LONG time!

Switch the project view to Tree or Collapsed tree (right click on empty space in project view) and you can move whole package hierarchy
