<h1>
Renaming a compilation unit
</h1>
<p>
To rename a compilation unit:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
In the Package Explorer, select the compilation unit you want to rename.
</li>
<li>
From the view's pop-up menu, select <strong>Refactor</strong> &gt; <strong>Rename</strong>.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Renaming a compilation unit also renames (and updates all references to) the top-level type that has the same name as the compilation unit. For example, renaming a
compilation unit <em>A.java</em> in which a class <em>A</em> is declared also renames class <em>A</em> and updates all references to it.
