I have s similar problem in Eclipse. For example: open project loses "focus". Even if only one project is open and only one file is in the editor view. One selects console view and all of a sudden one cannot, for example, "clean" the project without reselecting it. And the list goes on. Is there a way around that?

For what it's worth, I was not able to reproduce this behaviour, so it may be a bug that is somehow being triggered by your particular environment. I've tried various ways of selecting the console view (clicking on it, using keyboard shortcuts, using drop down menus, etc.), and in all cases, I could always select to "clean" the project.

OK, try this:

0. Make sure that you have "Clean project selected below" radi button selected from Project -> Clean dialog.
1. Open one single project.
2. Open one single .java file in an editor view.
3. Shift focus to Taskbar (or something else so that Eclipse stays at least partially visible).
4. Shift focus back to Eclipse by clicking on Console view.
5. From the menu, select Project -> Clean.
6. Notice that your project is not selected (checked) anymore.

Even if you have several .java files, from several projects opened simultaneously (which could be an excuse for inconsistency described above),
after the focus shift, one editor view stays in front, that is it's tab is special. Strictly speaking, it doesn't have focus (it's not blue), but it's the .... well, the one in use (it's white, not gray like the rest of them). So I think the "current" project should be the one that this special tab belongs to.
