Renaming a Java project that is outside the workspace does not update its folder name. However, the folder names of projects inside the workspace get updated. This is quite inconsistent and looks like a bug to me.

Steps to reproduce:

The bug:
- create a new Java project that is located _outside_ the workspace, name it 'test1'
- right-click on project -> Refactor -> Rename...
- enter new name e.g. 'test1new'
- click OK
-> project folder is still 'test1'

In comparison to expected behavior:
- create a new Java project _inside_ the workspace, name it 'test2'
- right-click on project -> Refactor -> Rename...
- enter new name, e.g. 'test2new'
- click OK
-> folder is also renamed to 'test2new'
