Description Tim Watko CLA 2010-07-07 09:16:05 EDT 
Build Identifier: Build id: 20100218-1602

I've been creating multiple projects. After I've made 3 or 4, I can no longer open the older projects. In the project directory, there are .metadata and .settings directories and .cproject and .project files, but Eclipse does not recognize the project. What am I missing?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a project 'A'
2.Create several more projects
3.Attempt to reopen project 'A'

Projects don't randomly close themselves. When did you close project 'A'? Or are you implying that Eclipse closed it out of its own will.

Please provide more precise steps.

Never mind, I am still not completely comfortable with workspace/project issues. Is there any documentation that you would recommend.
