Assume I setup a Java project in Eclipse.
Now I want to keep this project in general but modify some minor parts.
For this I would appreciate to have the possibility to clone resp. duplicate
the old project into a new, second one and rename it to e.g. "myProject_dup".
Can I do this somehow?

Hi,
you can select the project and use copy paste of the Edit menu to create
a clone of the project.

I think you can use the Import wizard -> Project into workspace, then
choose the project which is already in the workspace. It will probably
barf about naming, haven’t tried. Maybe you can copy the project
somewhere else first, then edit the .project file to change the name.

Right-click and choose Copy, then paste it back and give it a new name.
Or, a better approach would be to use a source code version control
system like CVS to store your project. Then you can make as many changes
as you want and always have the version in CVS to go back to. That is
exactly why version control systems exist, to meet the need you're
talking about.
