Package names are case sensitive. By convention the package name is lower cased. V1.8 doesn't allow you to set an upper case package name. If you have an existing project then you should keep the package name.
It can also be modified by editing the project file with a text editor.

Package names

On updating to v1.8, I changed my project package name from upper to lower case, but did not change the text itself.
After this, compiling gave an unhelpful message that it could not find the slidingpanels java package.
Looking for this, I noticed that the directories under the src sub-directory were still capitalized. Changing this then got the project compiled but it disappeared down its own trouser leg on running with another unhelpful message that the program had unexpectedly had to close.
Further searching showed that the gen sub-directories also needed un-capitalized.
I presume that your compiler creates new directories if a new name is chosen but does not rename the existing directories if the same name but different case is chosen. Can you fix this in the next release as these errors are rather obscure? It is not obvious to a windows user that the compiler cannot find the files because they all still exist.
In the meantime, if users change the case of their project package name, they need to go into the src and gen subdirectories to change the case of these to lowercase.
Otherwise a great app and thanks for the upgrade to 1.8
