Opening projects hassle [message #148307]

Why is the opening of existing projects in eclipse so awkward?
If I have at least one project already opened, the Open Project button in
project menu is disabled.

So I have to filter out the 'closed projects' to open new projects.
This is very annoying and I really don't see the point of this.

ps. Can someone tell me if M8 will contain support for Java 1.5 features?

And keep up the great work, eclipse is by far the best Java IDE on the
planet.

Log a bug report (after first checking if one already exists)

Check bugzilla, and the history of this newsgroup and the team plans (this
is a FAQ since 1.5 beta came out)
Start by checking out
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt- core-home/r3.0/main.html#release-plan

With your help we will make it even better

Ya'll need to get out and travel more. Saturn has an IDE that runs rings
around Eclipse. Jupiters IDE is even a bit better, but a bit too bloated.
Uranus... never mind I wont even go there..
