Moving folders, packages, and files
-
In the Package Explorer, select the folder, package or file you want
to move.
-
Drag-and-drop the selected resources onto the desired location.
Note: You can use drag-and-drop to move resources between
different workbench windows. Select a resource you want to move, and drag-and-drop
it onto the desired destination. If you want to copy rather than move, hold
the Ctrl key down while dragging.
You can also use drag-and-drop to copy resources between
the workbench and the desktop (both ways), but you cannot move files from
the desktop to the workbench using drag-and-drop.
Moving compilation units updates only package declarations;
it does not update references to the classes declared in those compilation
units. This can result in compilation errors. If you use the Refactor
> Move command from the selected resource's pop-up menu, all references
to classes defined in the selected compilation units will be updated.
