How do i Rename my projects in eclipse?

Question

Before i begin, this question has already been asked here. however, my requirement is different. I want to rename my project, for this, i simply bring the project into focus by clicking it, press Alt+Shift+R and rename it. This works, but only until i copy my project to my hard drive. I see the old project name again (folder name). It only works in eclipse. how do i rename it properly?

i am using the latest eclipse indigo build.

hope helps you http://stackoverflow.com/a/6388354/3790150 – saeed Apr 13 '16 at 03:45 — saeed, Apr 13 '16 at 03:45

Open your .project file from the project folder and change following value in it.

You need to change to Project name in it.

Another way,

Copy Old project from the Project explorer , and paste it over there, It will ask for new name, give a new name , and done.

The solution-

1) Try Darji Jigar's answer. If it doesn't work, try the one that worked for me.

2) copy your project to your hard drive from eclipse, simply rename the project's folder manually (right click-> rename) and import the project back to eclipse, i will not rename it this time.
