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.

Using eclipse Neon 4.6.3, renaming does not work. You will have to do what E-Ritz said in his answer.

It is also worth mentioning that if you are importing a project as a Maven project (via Import... -> Existing Maven Projects), the project name will be taken from the pom.xml rather than the folder. So you should also change the my-project-name part of the pom
