Eclipse: “Refactor - Rename” completely messed up, replacing arbitrary characters in file

Question

When refactoring a class name, Eclipse lately shows a very strange behavior. For example, let\'s look at one of our classes:

public class CampaignCSVPanel ex         


        

Answer 1

I found the problem: The project is using svn tags like $Date: $ When I remove them, the problem disappears. When I re-insert them manually (to make sure I don't insert invalid characters), the problem re-appears.

I experimented a little more, and the problem also disappears, when I switch the SVN connector from JavaHL to SVNKit.
