Date: 2010jun3 Level: beginner Environment: Eclipse Q. Eclipse: How do I rename a Java source file? A. You are probably renaming the class inside the file too. Eclipse has a way to rename the file and the class in one step.

In Package Explorer: Right click on your file. Select Refactor > Rename...

If the Package View is not present you can switch to it my doing:

Window > Show View > Package Explorer

from the main menu.
