I wish I could just post image here it so this post would be more descriptive.
After some trial and error I can duplicate ( copy and import) project into Eclipse.
The problem is - after renaming the project I am still getting the original name as an only option to Run.
The project name shows up correctly in project frame and in compiler build reports.
But what is being compiled is the original project, not the duplicated project.

What is really strange - this happens every time I try to make TWO duplicates of the original. The first duplicate runs fine , the second won't.

The launch configurations are pooled in org.eclipse.debug.core and are not associated with a project.
The debug (or Run) button and associated Run->Debug and Run-->Run will point to the last configuration used.
You can change where a launch configuration is stored by using the Common tab of a configuration edit dialog.
http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Fcdt_t_run_com.htm
The actual Neon dialog differs somewhat from the Help document. The alternate location is now called "Shared File".

When I copied and pasted the Hello project in the Project View then built the copy, the makefile was modified and produced the appropriate target.

Thanks for reply.
I'll have to try to change "configuration" , I am not really sure if I did it in right sequence, after I copied and changed the project name.
But I am sure one such sequence went perfect.
As you pointed out the "copy" can be done in project view or in "workspace" - as standard copy file. Since these two ways are not the same I need to pay attention next time I duplicate projects.
