Project Explorer View
The Project Explorer view (Figure 1) displays relevant C/C++ projects located in the current workspace using a tree structure. Use this view to manage all the projects located in the workspace. The view is customizable and takes advantage of working sets.
The content of a project is dependent upon how it was created in the workspace.

The directories that appear in the project include:
- sis—the storage location for the final output files. The output file is linked from the top level of the project with a file of the same name. Both the binary and link files can be expanded to show the source files used to build the program.
- Includes—a listing of all the include files used to build the project.
- Executables - a listing of debuggable executables imported into the Executables view
- User specified—many other directories like src, inc, data, and others are used to store specific types of project files. The names used for the directories are defined in the Project Directories page when the project is created.
NOTE Only the directories specified by the mmp file are created during import.
The files that appear in the project directories can be either:
- files (
)—these files are located in the workspace within the project directories. Double-click a file icon to open it for editing.
- folder links—these are links pointing to folders that enable the project to support cvs related sources.
