The usual way I know is to load some sort of container which contains
any number of projects. In Eclipse it's the 'workspace', in Visual
Studio it's the 'solution'. Working with many projects at the same time
and seamlessly switching between them is what I would consider to be the
norm in other IDEs. Everything else would feel exotic to me.
