Displaying and Hiding Projects

You can have multiple IDE projects open at the same time, whether or not they are connected to one another in any way. However, the only projects you need to have open at any given time are the main project (which serves as an entry point for building, running, and debugging) and the projects you are currently editing.

Even if your main project depends on other projects (subprojects), these projects do not need to be open if you are not actively working on them. Any dependencies that you have set up in the Project Properties dialog box are honored whether the subprojects are open or closed.

To hide a project, right-click the project's node in the Projects window and choose Close Project.

To display a project, choose File | Open Project (Ctrl-Shift-O).

To open all the projects that a project depends on, right-click the project's node in the Projects window and choose Open Required Projects.
