Eclipse has silently released Milestone 2 of its next version Eclipse 3.3. There are many improvements in many fields as you can see in the New and Noteworthy page.
One feature that I like from the list is this one:
The Java Rename refactoring (Alt+Shift+R) can now be performed directly in the editor, without showing a dialog.
A linked editing environment is started, similar to the Rename in File Quick Fix. To execute the refactoring in the whole workspace, press Enter or click the Refactor Rename link. To see and configure refactoring options, press Alt+Shift+R again, or click the Open Dialog link.
This feature can be enabled in Preferences > Java > Refactoring Java code > Show Rename refactoring in editor.
This feature reduces number of context turn over, which in many cases can be very tiring. I’ll definitely turn on this feature when I try Eclipse 3.3 later. Don’t forget to remind me.
