I can't see my other projects in Eclipse!

Hi all. I've been using Eclipse with each project in a separate window by right clicking on a project and selecting Open in New Window. This worked fine, but suddenly... even when I close Eclipse and reopen it, the Navigator only shows one of the projects I was working on. How can I navigate back???

Thanks!

Okay, I got it: I used Window -> New Window and in the new window everything is back to normal.

there's also a notion of workspaces in eclipse which can sometimes be confusing

I'm not sure this does what I need it to, at least using the PHP Explorer (which does have that same menu that you mention). Once I'll figure this out I'll mark yours as best answer.Thanks.

Yeap, I just saw my *precious* 15 points came and gone... ;)

Hmmm... doesn't work for me for PHP projects, not even using the Package Explorer itself (instead of the PHP Explorer... they end up showing the same thing). Thanks for the answer... I'll investigate more.

VonC, you doooo have a huge number of points. If you need more, just ask something controversial like, "should I optimize my badly written code?" or "who is the hottest babe you ever saw programming."

I just did: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/268892 ;)Duh! Community wiki question though. I have not yet mastered this 'point' game... :)

I get it now! If you are looking at ONLY a single project you can't see the workspace, so you have to do Window-->New Window first... Thanks!

Try to deactivate the option "Focus on Active Task". (If you have installed the Mylyn plugin)

'Top Level Elements/Working sets' - is not working 'Window -> New Window and in the new window everything is back to normal.' - it was ok for me at old version of Eclipse 2 weeks ago I have installed new one, and here it don't works

pretty late for an answer but for people who bump into this problem in future :

This is probably a bug with eclipse. At least to me it seems so.

The hack: Close eclipse. Delete the metadata file from the workspace folder. Restart the eclipse in same workspace. Load all the existing projects one by one from the "Create project from existing source option"

Note: This is a non-elegant, but simple and fast hack for the lazy ones like me. I tried a few of them from above. None of them worked. This one works just fine. Yeah one thing - you will have to reset the Installed JREs to point to the JDK on your machine.

Thanks @Guy Sensei but if you read to the end of the comments on the best answer you'll see how I got it to work.

Yar 2010-08-07 04:11:37

Hey Yar.. that solution didn't work for me :(
