Issue: A participant uses "Build Active Project" toolbar button or main menu item to build a non-active project. Analysis: Active project is not understood. Partly because the active project is not highlighted well enough - the little noticed '[active]' text next to the project name is lost in the jumble of text and nodes in the project explorer. This problem is exacerbated because the IDE starts up with an example project that is set active (and new projects do not automatically get the active setting). Recommendation(s): Make the active project title bold and re-order the project nodes to improve discoverability of both Resources and Output node as well as create some visual space between the bolded title and the content of the Sources node. Do not start the IDE with an example Project open. Have a link in the welcome page that will automatically open an example project instead.
Issue: A participant doesn't notice that the build output results belong to a different project than he wants to build. Analysis: Symptom of the Active Project issue. Recommendation(s): See above + do a better job of making the compiled project title noticeable in the output window.
Issue: A participant doesn't compile a project, only a class using a shortcut, main menu, or contextual menu of the class. Analysis: Work around for Active project issue. Recommendation(s): See above.
Current Explorer API doesn't allow to change Fonts for nodes displayed in the tree view. See also the discussion in issue #13736.
