How to open an existing project in Eclipse

Question

I have just created several project using Eclipse  Now restart Eclipse and want to see one of the projects  How can I do it   I have tried File -  Import -  General -  Existing Project into Workspace   Then I select the directory of the project that I want to work on and  as a result  I get an error message   Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace    So  it looks like that I do not need to import a project  because they are already in the workspace    But how I can  see  the projects that are in the workspace  If I create a new project  I see it as well as all other existing projects but I do not want to create a new project just to see the existing projects

If you closed the project  you can open it again easily by going to the top bar  alt   gt   Project  gt  Open Project Top menu  gt  Project  gt  Open Project You will get a menu where you can open closed projects that can be preventing you from opening these projects through the File menu  The window that lets you open any closed projects after you go through the menu listed previously

Just do like below  it helped me after doing like this  To load existing Eclipse projects in the IDE  you need to import them into the Eclipse workspace   Click File  gt  Import  gt  General Click Existing Projects into Workspace  You can edit the project directly in its original location or choose to create a copy of the project in the workspace  Select the directory that contains the projects you want to import  Click Finish  This imports the projects into the current workspace and loads them in the IDE   Look at this below link for reference  https   www microfocus com documentation enterprise-developer ed30 Eclipse GUID-773A19C7-98B2-442D-9D36-240E20E3F2CE html

Maybe you have closed the project and configured the project explorer view to filter closed projects   In that case  have a look at Filters in the Project Explorer view  Make sure that closed projects are disabled in the  Filters  view
