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. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. |
In this code, I want to make CONST a parameter of print(). class IntroduceParameter { static final String CONST = "abc"; void main() { print(); } void print() { System.out.println( new String( CONST ) ); } } I select CONST in print() and then invoke the 'Introduce Parameter...' refactoring. The request is refused with: 'Cannot extract this name - try selecting the whole instance creation expression.' There is a workaround (extracting CONST to a local variable, then introduce the parameter, and finally inline the local variable again), however, I don't see a reason why this should not work right away. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
