Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I must admit I like it when things work that shouldn’t rather than things 
don’t work than should... :)

I think on one place in the javadoc I say you cannot rename, and in another I 
say you cannot move a stem.  I tried this out, and it seems like renaming is 
ok as long as the stem's parent is the same, but if you move this stem (or 
rename and move) to a different parent stem, then it will not work.  I have 
updated the javadoc, and it will propagate at some point...

Kind regards,
Chris
