This dialog opens when Move package to another package option has been selected.

To package

Specify the destination package. Click the ellipsis button, and select the target package in the Choose Destination Package dialog that shows a tree view of all packages within the project. The content of a package is moved along with the package from the old location to the new destination package.

Search in comments and strings

Select this option to apply the changes to comments and strings.

Search for text occurrences

Select this option to apply the changes to documentation, HTML, JSP, and other non-Java files included in your project.

Search for references

Move to another source folder

If this option is selected, you can select the target root, where the destination package will be located. If the option is not selected, only the current root is used.

This option is disabled for the modules that contain a single source root.
