You can refer to the following Video.

To rename

  1. Right Click on the project.
  2. Select Run As ---> Run Configurations.
  3. In the Arguments Tab, change the Old Module Names in Program Arguments.
  4. Also Make sure, in GWT Tab, Selected module name is correct.

UPDATE

Given Video is not available now in YouTube. It might be removed by the owner.

The issue that you are most likely happening is that you haven't changed the run configuration in eclipse. As long as the package name isn't changed it isn't necessary to edit the .gwt.xml file other than renaming it. Changing the rename-to and entry point module names are not required as it is not necessary that they match the module name. The rename-to line changes the name of the folder and javascript files that are generated, so if you change it you have to remember to change your script tag in your html file.

There are a few steps here. The module is controlled by the modulename.gwt.xml file. First rename that file. I'm not sure but I think you also need to change the java path package name to the new name. Then edit the gwt.xml file and change the entry point and the 'rename' lines. If the module is the first module to launch when running your app you need to change the project run configurations to know the new entry point. That's off the top of my head, I hope I got all the places.
