Hi: That ain't so my friends if you have the list of the projects displayed as the default setting (Preferences). This is where the concept of "Workspace" gets muddled. In an Enterprise or J2E project you may by default have to projects under the same Workspace because you will most likely have an .ear or .war file as the end result but in a plain old Java project it's better if you have one project per Workspace.For example: C:\projects\SLFI2010\implementation\src C:\projects\SLFI2011\implementation\src This way you can keep them sepearate and cause yourself less confusion.

You have to open the one you want to open if you want to use a different one. I think that you can tell it to forget what you were in last time you used it so that you are forced to open the one you want when you start it up. I'd have to check.

Now I have another question. Do you always want to get back into what you have left? It automatically does that.

I. First create Project, whether that be a standard Java or not that's for you to decide however for my example Java by default. II. Once this task is completed, I usually will open the Project Explorer, expand the project, expand or at least open the SRC folder. III. Next I will create a package.... IV. I then locate said package and then create a class or create a sub package. Jim James M. Corbett Programmer / Analyst | Canada Revenue Agency | Agence du revenue du Canada 875 Heron Rd. Ottawa, On.

How about the package? Do I enter alt f and open each separate thing? It seems to me this should be smart enough to know if you are creating something new you obviously want to be in it (grin). Am I missing something?

This morning I again launched Eclipse. I hit alt f and new. I created a project. Again hit alt f and new creating a package. Then I did the same thing again and created a class. Well, I don't know where the project and package are, but it put my class in the space under the project and package from the last time. What have I done wrong?
