How to change project title in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

I want to change project title(demo) in IntelliJ IDEA but I can't find a way to change it, the directory has renamed but the title doesn't change

in File > Open Recent show demo name!

Answer 1

You should change demo to your project name in following path: .idea/.name. Then restart the IDE.

Answer 2

If it is Gradle or Maven project you should change the name in Gradle or Maven configuration. E.g. in settings.gradle:

rootProject.name = 'someName'

or in Maven root pom.xml:

...
<artifactId>someName</artifactId>
...

If project does not use any build systems rename it in File | Project Structure | Project | Project name: field:
