Organizing Your Workspace with Working Sets

Working sets allow you to organize your project view by filtering out projects you are not focusing on. When you activate a working set, only the projects assigned to it are presented in the project view. This is very helpful if you have a large number of projects in your view.

This feature is available in MyEclipse.

Also available in Angular IDE.
