Renaming a project

To rename a project, open it in the Project Explorer. Before you proceed with renaming, make sure to resolve all the project-related issues reported in the Problems view. Also, clean the project from any artifacts belonging to previous builds:
  • Right-click the project in the Project Explorer and click Clean Project on the context menu.
  • Delete the Debug folder and other folders with the build output (if any available).

To rename a project:

  1. Select the project in the Project Explorer and click File > Rename on the menu or press F2.
  2. Specify the new project name in the Rename Project dialog box. The project name must be unique across the workspace. The allowed characters are alphanumerics (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and underscores ('_'). Project names starting with a digit are not allowed.
  3. Click OK.
The project is displayed in the Project Explorer with the new name and with the project files, functions, and other resources renamed accordingly.
