After having worked on project A and started project B, eclipse still run project A even if I have closed all tabs of project A and only have classes from project B open. How do I tell Eclipse that I want it to run project B instead? Am I making any sense? :P

I can select to run different main files, but I honestly don't know which one is from which projects since they are different builds of the same project...

For starters, with what kind of projects are you working? Which version of Eclipse is it? Do the classes have different qualified names? Can you give concrete details?

Its just a basic rpg text game to learn the basics. I have one project and one test project of the same program where I experiment. When I'm happy with the result I save the testproject as the other project and keep working in the test project. This is because I want to have a backup if something goes wrong with my coding. Since I switch back and forth between the different projects alot, I need to be sure that Eclips starts the project I'm currently working on. But oftentimes, it seems to build the wrong project which naturally leaves me a bit confused. Using the latest version of eclipse. The classes all have the same name since its they are just copies with slight differences.

This is a problem usually solved by using version control and unit tests, but at the least I suggest you use Run->Run Configurations... to give the different launchers explicit names you can tell apart. That, or Close the test/backup project from the Project menu except when you actually need to deal with it.
