How do I rename a Play project?

Question

See this pastebin for commands in Play! help, project, and tasks displays.

Is there no other way to rename a project other than creating a new project and copying files over?

Answer 1

You can always edit the project/Build.scala file and change the appName that way. It won't change the directory name for you, but you can do that yourself.

Answer 2

For Play Framework 2.2.x you'll be able to specify the project name in the build.sbt file located in the project's root folder.
