Eclipse uses an organizational scheme called a 'workspace' for Java applications. Within each workspace can be multiple projects, which contain Java source code and compiled code.

At the labs, we teach that a workspace is analogous to a file cabinet, and projects are like drawers in the file cabinet.

The projects (file drawers) contain folders holding source code and compiled code.

Eclipse workspaces are not the easiest things to create from scratch, so we have hosted some of them here.

Just download one, save and unzip it. Then, open Eclipse and browse for that workspace. Before you know it, you'll be cranking out some Java code!
