Netbeans offers the option to rename a project, I've done this several times, including the project and its folder, and have been successful at all times. However they were Java SE projects, when I try to rename a Java web project I can not.
When I try to rename the project, an option window called "Rename Project" is opened and I mark the "Rename Project Folder" option, but the project is not renamed. If I uncheck the option it renames the project but not its folder.
I've already looked in the IDE documentation and in some places on the internet and nothing! I tried to rename the project, but Netbeans opens the window I put the new name so it starts the process and then next says it can not rename the project and it presents a window with the error:
ERROR: It is not possible to rename the TEST file in C: \ Users \ User \ Documents \ NetBeansProjects \ to TEST_SimpleJspServletDB.
To rename the project I have to delete the old create a new one and copy the project files to the new project, this greatly reduces productivity! I wonder why this process is not successful! I think the Tomcat server keeps running while IDE tries to rename the project, but I'm not sure.
