Classic Projects (formerly known as Eclipse Projects) have been with us since the conception of Sigasi’s product line-up. They are the oldest, simplest and most mature type of projects that Sigasi supports. As you’ll see in the rest of this chapter, they allow you to gather HDL files into a project, assign them to libraries, configure their lintings, etc.
The new alternative, the Sigasi Projects are more powerful. In addition to the same capabilities as the Classic Projects, the Sigasi Projects can be created based on your existing project configuration (for example a makefile, a Bazel-script, etc.) and they support splitting up your project into reusable dependencies.
Sigasi Projects are already used by many customers, but they are still a preview feature since we are still making minor changes. In this section, we’ll focus on the trusted Classic Projects.
