Just feeling curious that what the difference is for the 'Project' and 'Faceted Project'? Both are in the File->New->Others->General folder. I tried both of them and both only give me an empty project folder.
Facets define characteristics and requirements for Java™ EE projects and are used as part of the runtime configuration. When you add a facet to a project, that project is configured to perform a certain task, fulfill certain requirements, or have certain characteristics.
Project Facets Right click on the project properties. Select “Project Facets“, and click “convert to faceted form…” Check “Dynamic Web Module” and “Java“, and specify the value. By default, Eclipse will generate all “web” related files (like WEB-INF, web. xml) in a “WebContent” folder.
In the Project Explorer view of the Java™ EE perspective, right-click the project and then select Properties. Select the Project Facets page in the in the Properties window. This page lists the facets in the project and their versions.
From the Eclipse website:
Faceted Project Framework facilitates treating Eclipse projects as composed of units of functionality (called facets) that can be easily added or removed by users. The technology was originally developed in Eclipse Web Tools Platform, but is in the process of turning into an independent project as a way to broaden appeal.
I understand it as "multiple projects in one".
