In the File menu under Open File, should be another sub-menu called "Open Recent", which lists the last X number of saved projects. Clicking one would load it.

Reproducible: Always

What is a "saved project"?

eh?
I'm making Android applications specifically, and it's what shows up in the Package Explorer. And when I'm opening it, I open the .Package file.

Perhaps I should say the root file of any given project?

You wanted it to list a number of "saved projects". I am only aware of "opened" and "closed" projects. I don't know what is a "saved" project.

I am unfamiliar with this file. Unless you mean the .project file. I have never heard of a .Package file.

"I don't know what is a "saved" project."

A project that has been saved recently by the program

"I am unfamiliar with this file. Unless you mean the .project file."

Yes, sorry.

    There is no such concept of a project being saved (unless you refer to changing the build specs/natures) We save only files and the recently saved files are already available in the File menu.
