What is the proper way to open an existing project?

I have three different projects that I am working in KDS. Everything works fine to make a new project and work on it. However, when changing from one existing project to another, I close KDS, Open it to the workspace of the project I want to use, and then the "Open Project" is not in black so the project can be opened. What is the proper way to open an existing project?

It sounds like you are using one project per workspace. But you can have multiple projects in a workspace.

Import existing projects using the menu

File > Import > General > Existing projects into workspace.

The menu Project > Open Project and Close projects are about to close and open projects which are already in the workspace.

This because in Eclipse you should not have too many projects open for performance reasons, see Eclipse Performance Improvement Tip: Close Unused Projects | MCU on Eclipse.

I hope this helps,

Hi Kevin,

What do you mean of "the "Open Project" is not in black so the project can be opened. " ?

And , you can " click the File button ->  Switch workspace" ,  open the workspace which your project in .

Hope it helps
