I’m brand new to Eclipse (learning Python). I’m really confused about the terminology within Eclipse. I had previously created a “hello world” project and exited Eclipse. I’ve restarted Eclipse, but how do I list all of the projects in the current workspace? Is there a way to do that? If not how do I open a project? I tried using “Import” but it said the project was already in the workspace. What ever happened to say an option to “Open Project…”? This seems way overly complicated. I guess other questions I have are:
How do you determine the currently set “workspace”?
How do you see what workspaces are available?
The projects for the current workspace are shown in the “Package Explorer” view, which displays them as in a “Windows Explorer” fashion. Using this view you can open/close and manage your projects for a given workspace. If you currently don’t have Package Explorer open, you can go to Window->Show View->Package Explorer. If package explorer is not an option there just select “Other…” and look under General.
Note that projects are not shared across workspaces, so if you create a new workspace or switch to a different one you won’t see the other one’s projects.
