Description dmladek 2000-12-01 12:03:49 UTC 
I've found out a needfullness to IDE provide explicit repackaging.
It could be useful for instance:

I downloaded or receive by email sources.
With the help of other tools copy these sources to your already mounted FS.
There is a lot of reasons for that:
I don't want to mount new FS 'cause I'd like to have my sources at ones place.
or the package's declaration points to nonexist dirs, etc.

And it appears in IDE Explorer and I expect in popup menu->Tools offer:
Repackaging.

Of'course there are exist workarounds but they aren't suitable for me.

thanx for implementation

OK, the use case sounds reasonable, but the IDE would only change import
clauses, package statements, NOT the actual type references scattered throughout
the source. It might turn otherwise during the implementation, but I doubt it.

Target milestone -> 3.3
Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2001-11-19 12:24:18 UTC 
A real solution is equivalent to a symbol rename -- complete model 
is needed.
Comment 4 Jan Chalupa 2001-11-27 12:50:21 UTC 
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Comment 5 Svata Dedic 2002-05-21 17:47:54 UTC 
Cleaning up before 4.0 planning
Comment 6 Marek Grummich 2002-07-19 17:13:50 UTC 
Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD
Comment 7 Jan Becicka 2004-08-10 16:24:29 UTC 
Fixed by refactoring module, right?
