Build Identifier: N/A Usually, we develop or maintain different projects at same time, each project has multiple modules, or related projects, such as test or demo projects. Could eclipse provide a way like visual studio solution - that allows us to organize related projects into solution(or other name), in project explorer, it would like this: solution ---projecta-module1 ---projecta-module2 ---projecta-module3 ---projecta-other-modules solutionB ---projectb--related-modules .... other projects So we can easily find the projects we want. We can operate on this solution as a unit, such as expand, collapse, close, clean, build all projects of one solution. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Not applicable

You can use 'working sets' to do some of these things - expand, collapse, close etc. Have you given those a try ?
Thanks for the reply, and I know "working set", use it sometimes - such as search something in one working set. But the function I would like to have is that - if I add some projects in to one working set, then in the navigator, (project|package) explore, it would show this working set visually, and all projects would be put into it logically, such as: ProjectA-working-set ----projecta-related-modules When I click on the working set, it would allow us to clean, build, collapse, or expand these projects. This would help us to organize projects visually.
but you can organize your project/package explorer exactly like this using the "View-menu > Top Level Elements > Working Sets"
This is exactly what I want. Deepak Azad, and Tom Schindl. Thanks very much for your reply. I did google this but didn't find useful info, and also asked in google plus, no answer too. Next time I would first ask in eclipse forum first. I also guess Eclipse has many great features that I don't know yet. btw, I think some default behavior of eclipse may be changed, such as be default, it should show working sets as top elements - after all there must be some reason user create one working set, and after he create it, he may want to see it. "Link with Editor" on navigator, (project|package) explore should be default enabled - I was bothered by this for a very long time. Thanks again...
