Main Project

Whenever you have multiple projects open, one should always be set as the main project. The main project is usually the project that contains an application's main class. The IDE provides shortcut commands to quickly build, run, and debug the main project.

In the Projects window, the main project is shown in bold. You can set any project as the main project by right-clicking its project node and choosing Set as Main Project.

Pop-up Menu

Each node in the projects window has a pop-up menu of commands that you can run on that node. You open a node's pop-up menu by right-clicking the node. In the Files window, the pop-up menu for project nodes does not contain the major project commands, like Build, Run, and Debug. These commands are only available in the Projects window.
