Eclipse close project

Why should we close the project?

The Eclipse workspace contains multiple projects. An item can be off or on.

The effects of opening too many projects are:

• Consumption of memory

• Takes up compilation time: after deleting the project .class file ( Clean All Projects) and recompile (select Project > Clean > Clean all projects on the menu).

How to close the project?

If the project is not in the development stage, we can close the project first.

Select the project you want to close on the Package Explode view and close the project by selecting Project > Close Project on the menu.

The project after closing

After the project is closed, we can see that the project icon has changed in the Package Explorer view. A closed project cannot be edited.

Reopen the project

You can do this by selecting Project > Open Project.
