Projects view
The C/C++ Projects view is probably the most important view in the IDE
because you control your projects from it. The selections you make in the C/C++
Projects view affect what information the other views display.
The C/C++ Projects view provides a filtered and slightly rearranged version of
the Navigator view.
The Navigator view is part of the core Eclipse platform.
- For information about the Navigator view toolbar and icons, follow these
links in the Workbench User Guide: Concepts > Views > Navigator View.
- For information about the context menu in the Navigator view,
follow these links in the Workbench User Guide: Reference > User interface
information > Views and Editors > Navigator View.
The C/C++ Projects view has many of the same features as the Navigator view,
but it is configured specifically for C and C++ development. The two views may
appear identical, but the C/C++ Projects view
- Shows only open C/C++ projects.
- Stores the project's executables in a virtual subdirectory
called bin.
- Stores the project's libraries in a virtual subdirectory called lib.
- Hides certain files.
- Includes Build Project and related commands in the context menu.
- Provides an outline of *.c, *.cc, *.cpp, *.h, and binary files.
