When you execute JDE->Project->Project Files->Save, the minibuffer prompts
you to
enter a project name, e.g.,
Enter project name (foo):
The name you enter must be UNIQUE for each prj.el file that you create or
save with this command. If you do not enter a unique name, the JDE will
have no way of knowing when you have switch projects and thus will not
reload a project file. So the solution is for you to open a java file from
Project 1 and then immediately, with that source buffer still selected, do
a Save and enter a unique name. Repeat this step for Project 2.
Note that the Save command prompts you with the current project name (in
parentheses). If the name is unique, you can simply accept the name by
pressing the Enter key.
This is a FAQ. Unfortunately, the importance of specifying a project name
when saving a project file for the first time is not yet documented in the
JDE User's guide.
