Description Benno Baumgartner CLA 2006-01-09 09:12:42 EST
Version: 3.2.0
Build id: I20060105-0800

Ok this is a mean one, I know... 
Having:

package test2;
public class MyClass {}

package test2;
public interface IT {
    public void foo(java.lang.Class clazz);
}

package test2;
public class Test implements IT {
    public void foo(Class clazz) {}
}

And now renaming MyClass to Class will result in a compile error:
The type Test must implement the inherited abstract method IT.foo(Class)

Markus decide if this is too advanced.
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2006-01-11 04:56:01 EST
We could at least warn about the problem (probably in RenameTypeProcessor#checkConflictingTypes()).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
