The following preferences can be set on the Refactoring Preferences page. (Window > Preferences > Java > Refactoring.)

 

Option

Description

Default

After Finish has been pressed, show the Error page only if...

In this section, choose which kinds of problems will cause the wizard to remain open and show the problems after pressing Finish:

  • problems that prevent the actual refactoring from being performed
  • errors in the workbench
  • warnings in the workbench
  • information to be generated by precondition checking

Problems less severe than the selected level allow you to do a refactoring without previewing the results.

Error

Save all modified resources automatically prior to refactoring

If this option is turned on, then whenever you perform a refactoring action, the workbench will automatically save all resources that have been modified since the last save.
