I have a project of eclipse that is located in some folder on my my local-disk. Let’s say: c:\proj1.0
and after a while I need to change the folder name to proj2.0 (why? because I started working on the next version of my application and I want to save the time of creating the new project in Eclipse. The older version is stored in the source control anyway)

How can I do it? if I try to change it than the project cannot be found by eclipse.
I didn’t find the eclipse configuration file where the absolute location of the project is defined.

    You have to change the project’s name from Eclipse. In the Package explorer Right-click the project -> Refactor -> Rename. Or simply click on the project and press Alt + Shift + R. This way no configuration will be lost.

    Another way would be to move the project’s folder by Right-clicking on the project > Refactor > Move.

    Alternatively, if you already renamed the folder’s name and cannot see the project in Eclipse anymore, you can select File menu -> Import -> Existing projects into Workspace, navigate to the parent folder of your project’s folder, then select the projects you want to import and press Finish.
