Appearance of closed projects in Eclipse

Question

The list of all the projects we work stay (even after we close them) in the Package Explorer window of the Eclipse, they never vanish off the window. This behavior of Eclipse really irritates, specially if we have worked with many projects.

Are there any settings in Eclipse which makes closed projects goes off the window?

(Closed projects vanishes in Netbeans by default)

Answer 1

In the Package Explorer click on the small arrow in the top right side. Select "Filters...", and mark "Closed Projects" in the list of elements to exclude.
