Delete project (especially on Mac) [message #264955] Sat, 27 September 2008 22:48 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi there,

I'm using a Mac and new to Eclipse, and managed to mess up my first
attempts at building projects. (This is fine, I've gotten a project to
build successfully since.)

Then I wanted to delete the messed up projects, and couldn't find anything
in the "File" menu that enables this. "Delete project" in the help search
didn't bring anything up either, so I was stuck.

I found an online tutorial at <a
href=" http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/sum2005/cmsc131/EclipseTutorial/ advanced.html"> http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/sum2005/cmsc131/EclipseTutorial/ advanced.html</a>
which gives the tip of right-clicking on the project in the package
viewer, which gives a menu with a delete option.

So on a Mac, if you want to delete a project entirely, control + click on
the project and you'll get a menu that gives you this option.

Dominic,

Selecting one and using the menubar's Edit menu works as well...

On Windows, using the Delete key when a project is selected will do it,
too. I'd be surprised if that doesn't have some equivalent on OS X.
