I\'ve spent a while searching on this and nothing that I find seems relevant specifically to my issue. I am making RPC calls so I wanted to change the path to one of my web

To rename a project from "mytestproject" to "finalprojectname":

1. In your .gwt.xml file, change
   rename-to="mytestproject" to
   rename-to="finalprojectname".

2. In your .html file, change
   src="mytestproject/mytestproject.nocache.js" to
   src="finalprojectname/finalprojectname.nocache.js" (note the double replacement!)

3. In your web.xml file, adjust paths like
   <url-pattern>/mytestproject/greet</url-pattern> to
   <url-pattern>/finalprojectname/greet</url-pattern>

Anything else (like renaming packages, or renaming the .gwt.xml file) is optional.

If you do choose to rename your .gwt.xml file afterwards, then it's necessary to delete the output folder (war/finalprojectname). In Eclipse, also delete your old Run Configuration, and then create a new one by using "Run As > Web Application".
