Hi,
I have recently renamed the packages of my plugin, and
also renamed all project properties' qualified names.
What is the best way to update all properties which are already stored
to have the new names ?
I would like to iterate over all project's properties, find the ones
that start with the old name and rename them. However it seems that
iterating over all project's properties is not possible. Is there
another way around ?

For the most part we have avoided renaming any plugins or property keys.
If we have done renaming, then we have had to add backwards
compatibility code to manually remove the old keys. Typically we will
use a metadata version stamp, so we can quickly check if the metadata
version number has changed, and then recompute from scratch or convert
as necessary. Yes, there are internal methods that do something
similar, but nothing in the API.
