Move a class to a different application?

I'm trying to move a class from one application to another, but it seems as though ENVY will only permit this if the application I want to move it to is in the same containing top level application it is already in. Is this right? Seems like a pretty arbitrary limitation.

Thanks,

-Carl

Re: Move a class to a different application?

Hi Carl,

do I understand that right?

You want to move a class to a SubApp where you already have an extension f the very same class defined?

You might need to move the methods of the extension to the class to move and then delete the extension. After that you should be able to move the class.

It's not quite that. ENVY requires prerequisites be honoured. So, if your class is in application X which has applications A, B, and C as its prerequisites, and you want to move the class to application Z, application Z must have the correct prerequisites (at least A, B, and C). Additionally, the application of the super class of the one you want to move must be included in those prerequisites.
