You can rename Source Packages? I cannot. Can you provide steps to
reproduce, please? Thanks

Additional comments from Steven:
> Right-click on Source Packages in Project View > Properties
> Change the projectname in the field Name and confirm with Enter
> The first few times I tried this I got a NullPointerException and the
