better refactoring tool?

[pjydc]

I am doing a Spring + Hibernate web app. I use Eclipse3.1. I find that
refactoring in Eclipse for a Spring app is painful. Give you
an example, if I have a persistent class and I rename its name,
I have to go to .hbm.xml to manually change the class name.
I also have to manually change its class name in the application
context file if it is used as a form command object.
Each time I change a bean's name in the Spring's application
context, I have to find all the occurences of the bean's name
in one or more context files.

Is Spring-IDE a tool with better refactoring support?

Thanks, Pete

Is Spring-IDE a tool with better refactoring support?

David Watkins already implemented refactoring support for Spring IDE 1.0.3 (http://springui-ext.sourceforge.net/). This has to be migrated to Spring IDE 1.1.1.

Torsten,

Thanks very much for your input. I went to http://springide.org/updatesite/ and find that 1.1.0 zip file is much
larger than the 1.1.1 zip file. Does it mean that by installing 1.1.0 I can have more functionality? which version should I use?

Thanks again!
Pete

Pete,

please install version 1.1.1 from the update site. Unfortunatly we forgot to include the documentation into the 1.1.1 release. That's why the zip is smaller.

Greetings
