Description Simon Tardell CLA 2003-01-24 06:37:28 EST 
If you have a piece of code like this:

try{
 doSomething();
 doSomethingElse();
}catch(Exception e){...}

where doSomething and doSomethingElse declares some 
exceptions, "Source>Surround with try/catch" will not add catch clauses to the 
existing try/catch.

You can do this using quick fix. It provides a fix add a catch block to an 
existing try statement.
Comment 2 Simon Tardell CLA 2003-01-24 07:58:37 EST 
No. QuickFixes are only available if the exception is not caught. In the 
example it is caught by catching the mother-of-all-exceptions.
Comment 3 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-01-24 08:53:47 EST 
You are correct !
Comment 4 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-04-25 06:56:31 EDT 
This is more a quick assist feature then a refactoring. Currently no action 
planned for 3.0 until we get external help.
