Setting Main Projects
Whenever you have multiple projects open, one should always be set as the main
project. The main project is usually the project that contains an application's
main class. The IDE provides shortcut commands to quickly build, run, and debug
the main project. In the Projects window, the main project is shown in bold.
You can set any project as the main project by right-clicking its project node
and choosing Set as Main Project.
