Force.com Projects
A Force.com Project allows you to read and write code, user interfaces, and other metadata objects within a Force.com organization from your local computer. Although this metadata is edited locally, it must be deployed to the Force.com service to run. Deployment to Force.com occurs automatically every time you make a modification to an object in a Force.com Project and save the changes. The contents of a Force.com Project are visible in the Navigator or Package Explorer Views.
Note
Force.com does not provide its own integrated source control system, but Force.com Projects can be integrated into your company’s source control system through the built-in Team features of Eclipse. Refer to the Eclipse documentation for more information. ...
