I think I'm in terminology overload. <grin> When I say 'project' I mean all of the objects I need to inspect or modify in order to deploy an end user request. A single project can easily cross platforms, operating systems, programming languages and file systems. Imagine deploying a new web service. I need to change Apache's httpd.conf (on Windows), a CL program, some DDS and RPG, a PASE ksh script, several PASE C files (it's an ASN.1 project), some Java source and some entries in a database setup file.
Nirvana would be to have all that stuff appear under one navigational item, preferably named the same as my trouble ticket number so I can track the source and object code by my internal references. To be able to click an icon to build all the objects from source would be magical indeed!

For a complex project it can be difficult to execute the builds in the proper order, that's for sure. We simple RPG guys have the same problem: we have to create the file before we create the program or externally defined fields don't work. :-)
I don't know what the right answer is, but the discussion is very interesting!
