Whenever I try to change a method's signature using eclipse refactoring functionality (shortcut Shift+Alt+c) I get an error dialog with the text below.
An unexpected exception occured while performing the refactoring. See the error log for more details

I'm running the following version of eclipse: Version: Juno Release Build id: 20120614-1722
looking at the "for more details" it sounds that the error could be caused by the SpringIDE plugin. I have the version: 3.3.0.201307091516-RELEASE
If you need me to provide additional details please ask and tell me where I could find them.
Thanks a lot
