Create a Project

1. From the menu, choose: File | New | Project.
   Be sure Java and Java Project are chosen in the displayed window. Click Next.
   
   
2. The next window is important:

• Enter a name for the project - call it tutorial.
• In Project Contents, uncheck the box, use default and click on Browse.
• In the Browse for folder window, navigate to the parent folder for the new project. This may be your student folder on datastor. Then click the New Folder button to define the folder you wish to use for the project files. Name the folder tutorial. Click OK.

3. Click Finish (don't click the Next button).

An open folder icon should appear in the Package explorer panel. Expand the folder by clicking on the +. At this point there are no java files listed, however there is a reference to the JRE System Library. You have now defined a project and are ready to define some classes.

Removing the project

Right-click on the project name. From the pop-up menu, you can close the project (remember this in the future). For now, you will choose Delete. In the next pop-up window, be sure to check Do not delete contents and click Yes.. This choice merely removes the project name from the explorer; it does not delete any files.

Opening the project

Now you will redefine the project you just deleted.

1. Choose File | Import from the menu.
2. Choose Existing Project into Workspace and click Next. (Note: choose File system whenever you want to import a non-Eclipse project that already exists on your drive.)
3. In the Import window, click Browse - then navigate to the project folder, tutorial. Click Finish (don't click Next). Your project is back in the workspace. Note: when using public PCs, old workspace settings may be lost, so be sure the use this process to import an Eclipse project into the Package explorer.
