Improve error message when moving types #1246

Closed

Description

@akaroml

When moving a class, an error message appears when the target already exists:

Users have to expand to see the real error, and reading the exception is painful.

In this case, a clearer error message could be provided. @testforstephen could you help improve that?

    I created a file Test3.java in package demo, then a file Test3.java in package blah23. Then I dragged the file from the demo package to the blah23 package. I received a popup, no error.

    Works for me.
