Environment: Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706) Java: 1.8.0; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.0-b70 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0-b132 System: Mac OS X version 10.9.2 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new directory /tmp/projectholder 2. In NetBeans IDE create a new pom maven project (Categories:Maven, Projects: POM project) Project Name: mavenproject1 Project Location: /tmp/projectholder Leave the default values for the rest of the fields 3. Create a new jar maven project as a child of mavenproject1 (Categories: Maven, Projects: Java Application) Project Name: childproject Project Location: /tmp/projectholder/mavenproject1/ Leave the default values for the rest of the fields. As a result, childproject's pom.xml contains a parent section that points to mavenproject1 as the parent, as expected 4. Rename mavenproject1. Right click the project node, Rename. Change Display name, artifactId and the folder to parentproject. Expected result: The parent section in childproject's pom.xml should be updated to <artifactId>parentproject</artifactId> Actual result: the parent section in childproject's pom.xml stays unchanged <artifactId>mavenproject1</artifactId>
this was never really implemented and therefore cannot be a P1 bug. The only modification we currently do to external projects (read projects other than the currently modified one) is to modify the parent's modules section when the child changes folder.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
