Rename project in ABAP for Eclipse

Can we rename project somehow in the project tree?

I know how to change project settings (lang, user, system ID) but I wasn't able to change its name in the tree.

I have Eclipse Neon and ADT 2.73.3.

Tip: You can copy a project via context menu "Duplicate.." :

This will copy most of the local settings of the projects to the new one, e.g. the repository trees and favorites packages. And you can overwrite all logon settings like user, language, client and for sure the name of the project.

Thomas.

Hi,

It is not possible. You should remove the project and add it again.

Best regards

I had a look around and this seems to be a general Eclipse issue.

Hi,

Just be sure to use "new system connection" (like below) if you want to give the name of your own.

Otherwise, it will create automatically.

Project Name can be changed by the user on the last of the creation wizard.

Combination of User, system, client is only the default name.
