Can't I delete a method using eclipse refactoring?

Question

I have a method that I want to delete. This method is called from n number of classes. I want to remove this method using refactoring, and also force eclipse to delete all calls to this method, and not go and clear in every file. I could not find a direct way to do this from refactoring (I use ganymede)

Answer 1

• Delete method body
• Then select a method
• Refactor -> Inline

Answer 2

I do not think that this can be done using refactoring. However, you can search and replace using a regular expression.

CTRL-H to invoke the search replace dialog
