Managing Projects with Project Explorer

The Project Explorer window displays the items that belong to the open project(s). In Visual J++, projects are . Each file and folder in the project corresponds to a file and folder on the hard disk. Adding a file to the project adds the file to the project directory structure on the hard disk, and vice versa. Note, however, that you can remove a file from the project without removing it from the hard disk.

Using Project Explorer, you can:

• Choose the project view

• Open a file

• Add a file

• Add a folder

• Move or copy a file or folder

• Rename a file or folder

• Remove a file or folder

• Display all files in the project directory structure

By default, Project Explorer is automatically opened when you create or open a project. To manually open Project Explorer, click Project Explorer on the View menu.
