kabootit[Tips] Rename application or module
The properties view of a selected solution (application or module) does not have a "name" property like every other selected object in Servoy. Instead, to rename a solution, right-click on an application or module in the solution explorer view and choose "Rename solution".

Don't see the choice in the context menu? You're solution is either active and/or shared. I'm not sure why you can't rename a solution if it's active and/or shared (is there a good reason or was it just left out?) -- that's just the way it is. However, there are ways around....
1 "De-activate" your solution
If you're solution is not shared, "de-activate" your solution and then rename it. Can't find the "de-activate" switch? There isn't one -- you'll need to activate another solution in order de-activate this solution. If you don't have any other solutions to activate, creating a new solution will also de-activate this solution.
2 Use the Project Explorer view
If your solution is shared, rename via the The Project Explorer view. This view is not visible by default in any of the Servoy persectives. To turn on choose: window > show view > other... > general > Project Explorer.

This will put the view on your perspective at some random location (or maybe it's not random and Eclipse just likes to mess with your head). We tend to dock it next to the Solution Explorer (just drag it over by its tab).
In the Project Explorer view, the handy rename action is always available when you right-click on a solution.
