I right click on my project in eclipse, android tools , 'Rename application package'.

Pick any name and it will fail, directing you to the error log for details.

There i find the following:

eclipse.buildId=M20110210-1200
java.version=1.6.0_26
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86_64, WS=win32, NL=nl_BE
Framework arguments:  -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86_64 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product

Does this tool work for anyone? If so, please let me know what version of eclipse you are using.

I'm using the latest versions of eclipse (64bit) on windows 7 with the latest ADT eclipse plugin.

Apparently the following way can help you rename.

1.Right Click the gen folder and rename the package name to what you want it to be.see the image below.

enter image description here

2.After renaming the above open your manifest file and change the package declaration to what you want it to be but it should be the same as the package in the gen folder see below.

enter image description here

That should be it folks.Happy coding!
