I have a hierarchical project structure with a parent project and child project ... If I rename the parent project the child project name references also need to be updated. This renaming operation is causing the links to the child projects to be broken ... -- Configuration Details -- Product: Eclipse 4.6.0.20160525-2036 (org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product) Installed Features: org.eclipse.jdt 3.12.0.v20160606-1100
