I changed this. Now it launches with MYPROJECTNEW in the URL, but the server doesn't
find any files. It still doesn't recognize the project
That's probably because you still have old project name in hidden
configuration files.
+Change filter preferences to see hidden files which name started
from .+
I'm not exactly sure where "Change Filter Preferences" is located?
In
Java Package Explorer View press triangle button in task bar, like it shown on screen-shot
below and select Filters... item
http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2423/filter-menu...
http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2423/450-362...
Then unselect ".* resources" item like it shown on screen-shot below
http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2424/filter-unse...
http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2424/387-485...
Then do the search for old name in all files within new renamed project and replace all
entries with new name.

Do I need to leave the \CVS folder? I deleted the whole thing and the project
wouldn't load. Do I delete only the files in the folder?
No matter what it names now all CVS folders still contain old module name in
CVN\Repository file and that's why your commits come to the old CVS module in
repository. So you ether should delete all CVS folders in your local filesystem or
disconnect your project from CVS with meta information deletion through Team/Disconnect...
context menu on your project in any eclipse navigator view. Then you should share it again
in CVS module with new name.
