Renaming patterns and parameters

After you add patterns and parameters to a library you can change their names to more accurately describe the pattern purpose or function. You rename patterns in the Pattern Authoring view.

Note: Related files are not renamed when pattern or parameter names are changed.
To rename the related files, use the Eclipse-based Refactor menu command to rename the related Java™ files and other relevant file names.

To rename a pattern or parameter:

  1. In the Pattern Authoring view, right-click a pattern or parameter, and click Rename. The node name becomes available for editing.
  2. Modify the name or type a new name for the node.
