Other project options

In terms of reporting, there is very little you will need to do with the vast number of options available for projects in Eclipse. Therefore, if we are working with a lot of projects, we may have other projects open other than the one you are working in, which case we may want to do a mass closing of projects. Eclipse offers a nice option to close all projects unrelated to the selected one.

In this screenshot, we can see I have three projects opened—Class_Cars_BIRT_Reports, MyRCPTest, and MyTestGWT. Because I am only working with the Class_Cars_BIRT_Reports project, it is the only project I want open. Therefore, I select it, right-click on it in the Navigator, and select Close Unrelated Projects. This will close all but the selected project.

We can also specify that a project is related. Try the following to illustrate.

1. 1. Create three new projects—Project1, Project2, and Project3.

2. 2. Right-click on Project1 and choose Properties.

3. 3. Select the Project References item....
