5.4.3 Opening and Closing a Project

When you create a project, the project stays in an open state. An open project remains open until you explicitly
close it. Even when you restart the IDE, you can continue to work on that open project unless you have closed it.
Example: Icons of open and closed projects
← Open project
← Closed project
In order to edit source files or to perform a build and other operations, the project must be open, and the project di-
rectory or contained files must be selected in the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view.
Closing a project
If you have more than one project in the workspace, you can close all of them except the one you are currently
working on.
(1) Select the project you want to close by clicking it in the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view.
(2) Close the project by one of the following methods.
• Select [Close Project] from the [Project] menu.
• Select [Close Project] from the context menu for the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view.
This closes the project. At this time, any source files open in the editor are closed. If the contents edited in
the editor have not been saved, the [Save Resources] dialog box (see Section 5.10.2) is displayed, letting you
choose to save or not save the files file-by-file.
Opening a project
A project present within the workspace and closed in the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view can be opened
by one of the following methods.
(1) Select a project by clicking on it in the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view.
(2) Open the selected project by one of the following methods.
• Select [Open Project] form the [Project] menu.
• Select [Open Project] form the context menu for the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view.
This works only for currently closed projects displayed in the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view. To open a
project present in a directory outside the current workspace, switch the workspace to the directory in which the
project is saved (see Section 5.4.4). Or import an existing project you want to open into the current workspace (see
Section 5.4.5).
