Hi,
I want to rename a project resource (IProject). It tried IProject#move
and IProjectDescription#setName (retrieved via IProject#getDescription),
but neither works as expected: the project folder in the workspace is
renamed, but calling IProjectDescription#getName will still return the
old name. Plus, after renaming a project, I can't access its content
because the resource system still uses the old name (eg when I rename a
project from A to B and then want to add a file to B, I get an exception
telling me that 'Resource /A does not exist').
Can someone please give me direction how to correctly rename a project?
Thanks,
M

IProject#move(IProjectDescription, boolean, IProgressMonitor) is the
correct method. This will also change the description name. Note that
if you are renaming the project via #move, then the receiver no longer
refers to the existing project after the move. You need to get the
IProject handle for the destination project, and its description should
be as you expect.

Thanks a lot, works fine now :) Would be nice to find info like that in
the javadoc...

There are some comments to that effect in the IResource class comment,
saying they are handles represented by a path, but I suppose the comment
could be a bit clearer. This is just like java.io.File, whose renameTo
and other methods do not mutate the receiver.
