Once you have changed the project name by following the other suggestions mentioned in this thread, you can also change the module name within the project settings -> Modules:

This will change the name that is included within the brackets just next to the name of the project:

After this, proceed to refactor and rename the class that contains the main method to match your new project name. (This class is normally auto-generated by intelliJ after creating a new project).

That should do it. Cheers!

2) runConfigurations in folder -> xml

3) modules.xml

4) workspace.xml

(Depending on your project structure, your folder may not contain xml)

4. restart IDEA intellij

5. File -> Import Module...[your intellij project]

I hope this helps you :)

Actually this is a maven project and its name is defined from the maven pom.xml So if you want to change the name you need to change its name in pom.xml

 <artifactId>Code</artifactId>

to

 <artifactId>My-prject-name</artifactId>
