I forgot to mention, the obvious way to do it, using Project | Open Project doesn't work. Most of the options on the Project menu are grayed out. Only Build Working Set and Build Automatically are active on that menu. Shouldn't they be available to be selected?
I found I could do Window | Show View | Project Explorer and was able to close all the projects, then I could select one and open it. However, when I open the one I want, go into the webOS perspective, and try to run/debug it (F11) I get a dialog box: Problem Occurred, 'TapCounter' has encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during "TapCounter". The detail shows "An internal error occurred during: "TapCounter". java.lang.NullPointerException
It's still trying to run the one I don't want to run (TapCounter). How do I get it to run the one I want and the project I have open?

It's not that the Navigator view isn't always available, but, I think,
that not all perspectives include it in the Window menu when they are
active. I've never yet discovered a time when it wasn't reachable via
Window -> Show View -> [ Other -> General -> ] Navigator. However, maybe
I've just never tried getting from there at a time it wasn't available.

I personally use few keyboard equivalents that aren't high-frequency,
but I assume that F11 is the same thing as clicking the bug-shaped icon
in the button bar across the top of some perspectives.
If so, then launching for debug once will set the project in question as
the one that a click on the bug icon or F11 (presumably) will result in
without explicitly choosing which of your myriad, open projects will be
launched.

If I pull down the menu to the side of the bug icon, I can choose which
of all that I've been debugging since I launched Eclipse on the
workspace to debug. Next time, it's that one that's the default.
So, the default is the "last one debugged/run."
Or so it goes in my experience. After all these years, it would be a
huge anomaly for it always to have worked that way for me, yet not
actually be that way.
