<p>A workspace is the default place to store and create resources like projects, folders, and files. These are then presented to the user in a perspective which enables the presentation and manipulation of the stored resources.</p>

<p> When Carbide is launched it asks for a workspace to open. As you can have multiple workspaces, all independent from each other, choosing the workspace containing the projects to work on is important. Projects within a workspace are  shown in the Carbide workbench within the <a href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/concepts/cnav.htm">Project Explorer</a> and <a href="../reference/view_cpp_projects.htm">C/C++ Project</a> views. When you create a new project it is automatically added to the currently open workspace. You can import existing projects into a workspace from INF files.</p>

<p>Projects in one workspace cannot refer to projects in a different workspace. Thus, large projects spanning  folders outside of the workspace are not handled at all. Storing all the project files in the workspace makes managing them   easier from a project management perspective. Files accessible inside the workspace, like project source and resource files, are better supported than those outside the workspace (for example, SDK headers). Local History, CVS, MMP/bld.inf editors, etc. are available for files inside the workspace but not for those outside the workspace. </p>
