How to open an existing project in Eclipse?


I have just created several project using Eclipse. Now restart Eclipse and want to see one of the projects. How can I do it?

I have tried File -> Import -> General -> Existing Project into Workspace.

Then I select the directory of the project that I want to work on and, as a result, I get an error message: "Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace".

So, it looks like that I do not need to import a project, because they are already in the workspace... But how I can "see" the projects that are in the workspace? If I create a new project, I see it as well as all other existing projects but I do not want to create a new project just to see the existing projects.


Solution

  • Maybe you have closed the project and configured the project explorer view to filter closed projects.

    In that case, have a look at Filters in the Project Explorer view. Make sure that closed projects are disabled in the "Filters" view.
