Description

Hi,
I have a simple spring boot project running fine by starting it from the spring-boot dashboard.

However, I copied that project folder and opened it in VS Code, but I cannot run it, I get the Could not find or load main class error.

In Eclipse, if I copied a project, I would have to change the context root, how can I achieve something similar here please? I need to change the reference somewhere but I don't know where?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in a copied Spring Boot project opened in VS Code and compare it with the original project launched from the Spring Boot Dashboard. The issue names no source files or tests, so first determine whether the dashboard supports changing the project reference or whether the expected setup needs documentation. Done means the required configuration or limitation is identified and explained clearly.
