<h1>Project file views</h1>
<p>Projects files and elements are displayed in the C/C++ Projects view and in the Navigator view.</p>
<h2>C/C++ Projects view</h2>
<p>Displays, in a tree structure, only elements relevant to C and C++ projects. In this view you can do the following:
<ul>
<li>Browse the elements of C/C++ source files</li>
<li>Build Targets</li>
<li>Create new projects, classes, files, or folders</li>
<li>Import or Export files and projects</li>
<li>Manage existing files (cut, paste, delete, move or rename)</li>
<li>Open files in the editor view</li>
<li>Open projects in a new window</li>
<li>Refactor</li>
<li>Restore deleted files from local history</li>
<li>Search</li>
</ul>

<h2>Navigator view</h2>
<p>The Navigator view provides a hierarchical view of all the resources in the workbench, not just your C/C++ resources.
From this view, you can open files for editing or select resources for operations such as exporting. </p>
<p>Right-click any resource in the Navigator view to open a pop-up menu from which you can perform operations such as
copy, move, create new resources, compare resources, or perform team operations. For a description of what each menu
item does, select an item and press F1. </p>
<p>By default, the Navigator view is included in the Resources perspective. To add it to the current perspective, click
<b>Window > Show View > Navigator</b>.</p>

For example, if you Go Into a resource, then the Back command in the resulting display returns the view to the same hierarchy from which you activated the
<i> Go Into</i> command. The hover help for this button tells you where it will take you. This command is similar to the Back button in a web browser.</td>

For example, if you've just selected the Back command, then selecting the Forward command in the resulting display returns the view to the same hierarchy from which you activated the Back command. The
