Cannot rename eclipse project
You can export a project by clicking on
FILE->EXPORT
.FILE->IMPORT
If you edit your files a lot outside Eclipse, enable auto-refresh with
WINDOWS->PREFERENCES
then in the dialog box that appears, click on GENERAL->WORKSPACE
and click REFRESH AUTOMATICALLY
You need to get your Eclipse project back in sync with the filesystem.
Just click on your project and press F5 ("Sync with Filesystem") and then try again to rename it.
When you open an Eclipse workspace from within a clearcase view and try to rename the project, you will often get the pop-up warning ... “Resource ‘project’ is out of sync with the file system”. If refreshing the project does not fix the problem, then do the following workaround: a. Open workspace WITHOUT being in a view b. Select the project in Project Explorer c. ClearCase -> Associate Project (project should now look like project [] ) d. Right click project -> Refresh (vob sub-folders should now be empty) e. Right click project -> Rename ... f. Enter New name
Now you can close the workspace, reopen it in a view and refresh the project. You may also dissociate the project if you prefer the project not to be associated with the vob.
