This window is used to manage ad display a Project or Task. According to Vivid Solution definition a Task is a collection of layers which are used together in a conflaction process. Project (or Task) is basically a group of layers that can be displayed together. Users can modify these layers, adding features and operate querries or other analysis operations. When started, OpenJUMP opens a new, empty, Project Window, layers can be added using the tool Open Files or Open... available either in the Menubar>File menu or in the Toolbar.
