    True, but that's not very nice. I'm not trying to find a way to do
    it; I'm more brainstorming about what improvements would make sense
    inside the platform. 
 
 
      Temporarily removing a nature just changes the abilities provided
      on that project (e.g., removing PDE nature turns the project into
      a normal Java project), whereas closing a project removes it from
      consideration.So having a way to remove a nature would be a nice alternative to
    closing a project. 
 
 You can delete a project without removing the content
      to remove it from your project list. Does that mean
      closed-projects are useless?As part of bug 245412, I've wrote a Project <-> Folder
    conversion for nested projects, and it seems to me that it fits
    better to usual development workflow than closed projects. Either
    the project is shown as a project, with the natures working and so
    on, or it's shown as a simple folder listing its resources. With
    this approach, I tend to think that closed projects become useless.
