Refactoring a class variable in Java will produce the desired result when "refactor getters and setters" checkbox is checked, but may not appear in the previewed source file. I.E. the method names remain the same in the preview.
And furthermore, you guys might consider adding "refactor constructor" checkbox, on a similar vein to getters/setters box, but that's an improvement, and can file it yourselves if you think it's prudent.
