How to open an existing project in Eclipse?

I have just created several project using Eclipse. Now restart Eclipse and want to see one of the projects. How can I do it?

I have tried File -> Import -> General -> Existing Project into Workspace.

Then I select the directory of the project that I want to work on and, as a result, I get an error message: "Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace".

So, it looks like that I do not need to import a project, because they are already in the workspace... But how I can "see" the projects that are in the workspace? If I create a new project, I see it as well as all other existing projects but I do not want to create a new project just to see the existing projects.

How do I open an already imported project in Eclipse?

You need to use "File"->"Import"->"General"->"Import Existing Project" to be able to use your existing project.

How do I reopen a project in Eclipse?

To reopen a closed project, in the Package Explorer view, select the closed project and click on the Project menu and select Open Project. Once the project is open its content can be edited using the Eclipse user interface.

Maybe you have closed the project and configured the project explorer view to filter closed projects.

In that case, have a look at Filters in the Project Explorer view. Make sure that closed projects are disabled in the "Filters" view.
