I often find myself changing a class name during dev
which means I have to go "File Save As" to create the
new file and then go back and delete the old .java,
.class, and .java~ files manually.

It would be nice to have a "Rename" command on the file
menu that fired a "Save As" action followed by deleting
the old files.

    This feature should probably also allow moving the file to
    another directory. So it's really a combination of "File
    Save As" and deleting the old file.

    Do we want to delete the old backup file? Or rename/move it
    as well?
