Renaming Gradle Project in Netbeans

Question

I have a Gradle-root-project that I would like to rename (I'm using Netbeans 8.0.2) and I can't find an option to do so. With a Java project it was as simple as right click project -> rename.

Is there a way to rename a Gradle project? (Without causing issues with the classes therein)

Answer 1

1. Access the build.gradle file and you can change project file name to be name = 'newName'
2. Access the settings.gradle and change rootProject.name as rootProject.name = 'NewName'
3. Then try checking the name changed by running $ gradle -r | grep name $ gradle -r | grep name

Answer 2

My settings.gradle had only one line and the build.gradle didn't have a name parameter, so this is what I did:

1. Changed rootProject.name = 'NewName' in settings.gradle
2. Refactored the main class name (the class that contains main()) to the new name public class NewName .

3. Changed to the new name, the manifest attributes and mainClass values in build.gradle :

   manifest { attributes 'Main-Class': 'com.abc.NewName' }

and

if (!hasProperty('mainClass')) {
    ext.mainClass = 'com.abc.NewName'
}

Answer 3

edit settings.gradle file:

 rootProject.name = 'newNameHere'

then right click ( on the project gradle icon ) > Reload Project

NOTE: if you have errors in your config or files name wont be changed
