The example below defines a refactoring contribution implemented by class RenameResourceRefactoringContribution for the rename resource refactoring with unique id org.eclipse.ltk.core.rename.resource:
   

<extension point=

"org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.refactoringContributions"

>

<contribution class=

"org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.RenameResourceRefactoringContribution"

id=

"org.eclipse.ltk.core.rename.resource"

/>

</extension>

The contributed implementation class must extend org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.RefactoringContribution
