Eclipse open all files in project

How can I open all source code files in a eclipse project at once? It takes too long to open all files in large projects by expanding out the packages and clicking on all the files.

I would like to know how to do this so I can ctrl+e to classes quickly.

It is not a good way to keep open all source files in a project because a project may have hundreds of source files. There is NO direct way to open all source files in eclipse.

However you can do it in two ways:

Using open resource dialog:

  • Create a working set which includes your project. Refer this.

  • Press Ctrl+Shift+R and select the your working set(Click on the downward pointed triangle button)

  • Type *.java in the text box. Dialog will list all java files in your project. Press Ctrl+A to select all files. Click on open button.

Using search dialog:

  • Select your project in Package explorer/Navigator/Projects view.

  • Press Ctrl+H. Go to File search tab. Leave "Containing text:" as blank. In File name patterns text box enter *.java. In scope section choose Selected resource option. Press search button. All source files will be displayed in search view.

  • Change the view layout of Search view to Show as list(In search view toolbar click on the downward pointed triangle button)

  • Press Ctrl+A to select all results. Right click and select open option.
