Question

This is my first time using Eclipse 3.3.2 to make an application in Java. I went to File -> New Java Project, and created a new project called “NewProject.”

A new folder named “NewProject” was created in my workspace with two empty folders: one named “src” and one named “bin.” I then close Eclipse and try to reopen my newly created “project.” However, I cannot do so. Eclipse just treats the project folder as any other folder. Why?

Answer 1

Java source files go into the src folder and Eclipse continuously compiles them into the bin folder.

Since you haven’t created any source files you don’t see anything in your project.
