Description Chris Hartley

2010-09-17 03:10:15 EDT

This is basically just a placeholder entry at this stage and may need a short paper written up to describe the full behavior

So the issue is that if I copy a group of artifacts, then any references to other artifacts in the selected group aren't updated to reference the new copies.
Note that this could also be extended to diagrams in the future.

A particular example.
I have class A with a subclass B and an association ALikesB between A and B.

They all reside in oldFolder.
I select all 3 and copy them to newFolder.

I find:
* newFolder.B extends oldFolder.A
* newFolder.ALikesB is between oldFolder.A and oldFolder.B

What I would like instead is:
* newFolder.B extends newFolder.A
* newFolder.ALikesB is between newFolder.A and newFolder.B

Refactor dialog

Java refactoring mechanism, pops up the attached dialog, giving users the option of updating references for a move operation.  Perhaps we should do the same for a copy/paste and move operation.
