I renamed different things throughout a Java Maven project by appending text in front of "Remarks" text. I did this by searching for remarks and appending the text. I attempted to use refactoring but it didn't give me the option in VSCode.

Now I am getting an error message "cannot find symbol" across the renamed variables/methods. Below is part of the error message redacted.

194.5 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project redacted-api: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:
194.5 [ERROR] /app/src/main/java/redacted/redacted/redacted/report/service/factory/ReportQueries.java:[258,31] cannot find symbol

Any idea on how to get the program to work with the bootstrap startup script that builds the Docker container? Thanks

    There are two likely possibilities for the source of this issue: (i) you have some stale classes hanging around in the compilation classpath or otherwise cached somehow; or (ii) your updates broke your code. The first probably could be addressed by performing a clean rebuild. The second would need to be addressed by studying the code where each error is reported to determine the nature of the error, and fixing it. Commented yesterday

    1) What do you mean by "Remarks"? There is no such term in Java. 2) In case if you are renaming a public class or interface - you must also rename its containing file. Commented yesterday

    Without a concrete example the community can not help more. Add a minimal reproducible example to the question including a class source code, the error for that class and the path and name of the source file. Commented yesterday
