# Changing the Current Project

The project that you are currently working with is called the current project. The current project sets the context for all tools in Java WorkShop. For example, when you use the debugging functions you will be debugging the current project.

To change the current project:

1. Click the Project's button on the Java WorkShop main toolbar.
2. Select the name of the project that you want to be the current project.
3. Choose File -> Open Project.

Or:

- Double-click on the project name that you want to make the current project.

The selected project becomes the current project. The project name is shown in blue text in the Java WorkShop Project Manager window, and its name appears in the bottom, right corner of the main Java WorkShop window.
