Using Eclipse. Say I have a project 'ProjectA' in the eclipseworkspace (in a folder ProjectA). I want to copy the project but with a new name (ProjectB) and have all the references in the new project adjusted. I can't find much help for what I thought would be a vary basic operation. I want to try out variations on the original design/code and creating a copy seemed the obvious way to go about it.

Any suggestions please.

I need it also today and i got the answer from my co-worker.

  1. you just copy your project into new one (ctrl+c & ctrl+v).

  2. you change package-name in your manifest

  3. After that you must rename your main package with refactor. Don't forget to select.

  4. Just change your application name in manifest

    application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="new name"

Hope i didn't forget something and it helps you
