Description Vikas Trivedi CLA 2006-02-13 11:15:26 EST 
In attempting to replace use of internal jdt calls, we started to use ISourceManupulation.delete instead of our previous use of JavaDeleteProcessor. However when deleting a SourceType the end result is that the type is removed from the compilation unit but it doesnt delete the file itself. 

Is there a better way to get the same functionality that was available through the DeleteProcessor and DeleteRefactoring using public API?

Moving to JDT UI for comment

There is no public API at the moment to invoke refactorings except for Rename refactorings (class RenameSupport).
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2006-02-23 11:15:41 EST 
not for 3.2
