How can I change the file name in Eclipse?

To rename a file in Eclipse, you can follow these steps:

  1. In Eclipse, right-click on the file that you want to rename.
  2. Select the “Rename” option in the right-click menu.
  3. Enter a new file name and press Enter to confirm the changes.

Important points to note:

  1. If the file is being used by another program or is locked, Eclipse may not be able to change the file name. In this case, you will need to close the file or release the file lock first before renaming it.
  2. If you modify a Java class file, Eclipse will automatically update the references to that class. However, if the file is being referenced by other classes, you may need to manually update those references.
  3. Changing the file name may result in other files in the project being unable to locate the file, so it is best to ensure that there are no references to the file in the project before changing the file name.
