Description

[provide a description of the issue]

Environment

Operating System: Windows11
JDK version: 17
Visual Studio Code version: 1.88
Java extension version: 1.29

Steps To Reproduce
  1. selecting 'methodToRename' in interface I
  2. Renaming 'methodToRename' to 'equals'

Because the new method name 'equals' is the method in the existing API, it causes a compilation error when applied to refactor the new name

Research direction

Reproduce the rename from methodToRename to equals in an interface using Windows 11, JDK 17, VS Code 1.88, and Java extension 1.29. Trace the rename/refactoring entry point and determine how the existing API method is handled; done means the operation warns that the refactoring is unsupported instead of causing a compilation error.
