How to refactor package import in intelliJ

I am plaaning to upgrade joda DateTime api to Java DateTime API in all my classes. 

import org.joda.time.LocalDate

to

 import java.time.LocalDate

Is there any way to easily perform this refactoring in intellij so that it will resolve and replaces all usages correctly.

Solution

  • This is not possible, because jodaTime has a different API than the new one from Java 8. IntelliJ has quite good refactoring capabilities, but it can't analyze your application logic and convert method calls from package A to different calls - with other parameters - from package B.

    Of course, you can perform a simple "search + replace". After this, you'll get compiler errors, and you have to correct them manually.
