Steps 1. Create an ent app with an ejb and war subproject 2. look at the directory structure in the Files tab app +- app-ejb +- app-war +- nbproject +- src +- build.xml 3. Use Rename Project (with directory name change) to change the name from app to ppa 4. examine directory structure in the files tab... ppa +- nbproject +- src +- build.xml The Rename project doesn't preserve the blueprint layout or the original project. expected result: ppa +- nbproject +- ppa-ejb +- ppa-war +- src +- build.xml OR ppa +- app-ejb +- app-war +- nbproject +- src +- build.xml
Would be nice to have by default. Maybe even better would be if we ask the user if also subproject should be moved. What if a module is already outside of an ear's directory structure. Those should be probably left where they are, again - by default. The project API is currently weak and does not permit more satisfactory dialogs (we have similar problems in APISupport). Also the user may (if there is not some other bug) to be able to move submodules separately. If there is some time I'll take a look at it for 5.5 but not sure. I think it is not a high priority bug if copy/move operation for individual project types works without problem (if not, separate bug should be filed).
J2EE team support ends, thus returning the issue back.
