Moving, Copying, and Renaming a Project
See Also
When you create a project, the IDE bases much of its project metadata on the
name and location of the project. These values are used in the project build
scripts, the project properties, and the names and locations of the project
folders. In order to safely move, copy, and rename a project, you must use the
commands provided by the IDE.
To move, copy, or rename a project:
- Right-click the project's node in the Projects window and choose one of
the following commands:
- Rename Project
- Move Project
- Copy Project
Notes:
- When moving or copying a project to a new location, the new folder must
already exist on the computer. You can create the folder with the Browse button.
- Moving and renaming a project can break compilation dependencies between
projects. To fix the project dependencies, remove the renamed or moved project
from the classpath of any other projects, then add the project again.
