What is the difference between Project and Faceted Project in Eclipse?

Question

Hi all, just feeling curious that what the difference is for the 'Project' and 'Faceted Project'? Both are in the File->New->Others->General folder. I tried both of them and both only give me an empty project folder. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

From the Eclipse website:

Faceted Project Framework facilitates treating Eclipse projects as composed of units of functionality (called facets) that can be easily added or removed by users. The technology was originally developed in Eclipse Web Tools Platform, but is in the process of turning into an independent project as a way to broaden appeal.

I understand it as "multiple projects in one".
