Description Johan Compagner CLA 2003-03-11 09:42:52 EST 
Why do i have to deselect everything in the package explorer to get the open 
project menu item in an enabled state?

Open project should only be depended of one thing: Closed projects or not
Comment 1 Andrew Irvine CLA 2003-03-11 15:09:26 EST 
What build are you using?  In the RC2 build if you select 10 projects, and only 
one is closed the open project is enabled.

Marking as duplicate of bug #2529, assuming you are running an older version of 
eclipse.  Please re-open if you see this problem in the RC2 build.

Comment 2 Johan Compagner CLA 2003-03-11 17:04:43 EST 
I do use RC2.

The problem is that i open project item has 2 functions!

1> Opens a dialog where i can select closed project(s) so that i can open them
2> Opens the current selected closed project.

And <1> only happens when nothing is selected in the package explorer. And i 
always want <1> or when i have selected a closed project then do <2>

So nothing selected or selected a non closed project then open project should 
be enabled and do <1> else if a closed project is selected then do <2>

Ofcourse if there aren't any closed projects then <1> should never happen.

This behaviour is specific to the Package Explorer.
Comment 4 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-03-18 12:54:53 EST 
The reason for the current behaviour is that if nothing is selected open 
project works in the views input, which in this case is the workspace. That's 
why you are getting a dialog.

We should consider the improvements outlined in comment #2, but not for 2.1
Comment 5 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-08-30 02:40:40 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
