Question

Should renaming a project in Eclipse also rename project folder on file system ?

My project file system name remains the same even when I rename the file on Eclipse.

Answer 1

In Eclipse Oxygen (4.7) the Move option is greyed and renaming the project does not rename the directory. However, if you switch to the Navigator view (may need to find it under Window > Show View > Navigator) the Move option will be available and it will rename the project's directory.

This is a lot faster than having to recreate the project or re-import it.
