I just installed Codewarrior for MCU but the project menu items "open project" and "close project" are grayed out. Do I need a license in order to open a project?

I figured out the problem. The Codewarrior Projects view was not opened. Once I opened the view, all of my projects where displayed there. The open and close project items only become active when you highlight one of the projects in the Codewarrior Projects view.

Hi Ivan,

Open and Close project are actions on already existing projects in the Projects view. If you want to add a project, you have to use the 'Import Project' or drag&drop way as outlined by Fiona. Opening and closing projects is a common practice in Eclipse just to have the projects open you want to work with, mainly for performance reasons (see https://mcuoneclipse.com/2014/08/16/eclipse-performance-improvement-tip-close-unused-projects/ ).

I hope this helps,

Erich

Hello Ivan

The extension name of a CW10 project file is .project, which is under the project folder.

To open a project in CodeWarrior v10.x, you can use either of the solution below:

1) Click on 'File' Menu in CodeWarrior IDE

Select 'Import'->General->Existing Projects into Workspace

Enable 'Select root directory', and browse to the folder in where your project file(.project) locates

Select the project can click on 'Finish' button.

2) Open the project folder with Windows Explorer, and find the project file (.project), then click on it and drag it into the 'CodeWarrior Projects' view in CodeWarrior IDE.

Hope it helps!

Best Regards

Fiona Kuang
