I had some trouble trying to do a simple rename of a public static utility
method. When I tried renaming it from where the method was defined it
resulted in the following message. (It's a lie. In fact "find usages" on
this method has no problem.)
"The original element being refactored is not available. It was deleted or
significantly changed. Usages cannot be collected."
When I tried to rename from a call site there was no warning or error, but
then it did nothing.
The following exception was in messages.log:
java.lang.NullPointerException: selected
