I'd like to be able to do work with Eclipse as I figure out how to use VS Code (tried working with multiple projects yet in VS Code???).
I understand that Eclipse is no longer supported, but is there a way to get the last plug-in back ?
Doing an update in Eclipse removed the ConnectIQ plug-in.
The way I do this is by tapping The highlighted icon here, gives you a list of apps to run or run in a test. At the bottom of the list, a simple tap allows adding a new launch config/
There's also a dot to the right of the project that gets built and if I right click on either project the menu includes "Build Currnet Project" but it always builds the project with the dot and I see no way to change the selected or current project.

The dot means your project has "emphasized items" (errors/warnings from the build which show up in the Problems tab in the bottom pane.) It's not surprising that the project you built has a dot since the build likely generated a few warnings. (If you manage to build the other project, you'll probably also get a dot beside that one.)
Then I select View -> Run to see something similar to what you're showing but there is no icon as shown in your example, and there is no list to select from.
Click on the triage with the little bug on the left. The one that is bold in my screen shot. You should then see "Run App" with a down arrow. Click the down arrow and you see the menu like I show.
Not sure why you aren't showing the icons along the left.
Ok, Try view>appearance>activity bar
I think he means there's no run icon (the green triangle immediately to the left of the list in your example) and no list. Here's a screenshot of what it would look like if he could see it.
The reason he can't see it is the green triangle and the list only appear after you've created at least one launch config.
This is what the user sees when there's no existing launch configurations:
As mentioned in the official documentation linked above, the way to add your first launch config is to click on "create a launch.json file" as seen in the screenshot above.

That's very strange. Feels like a bug to me. I don't have that problem with Build Current Project (either in the right-click menu or the command palette.) Doesn't make a difference whether launch configs are present or not.
Regardless, the ability to build the project of your choice is somewhat useless given that the default Run command won't run the project of your choice :/. (Unless you need to be able to build without running, which is def a valid use case.)
I also feel like the inability to run the current project without creating a launch config is a bug. I created a multi-root workspace with 2 python projects, and VS Code doesn't have a problem running the selected project without the use of launch configs.

Actually I think I see your problem. Based on your screenshot, it looks like you may have opened the parent folder of your two project folders as a single project. This could happen if you launched Code on the parent folder (e.g. Right-click > Open in Code) or if you added the parent folder using the File > Open Folder dialog. You need to add each project folder to the workspace, as opposed to adding the parent folder.
So in this case, VS Code thinks you have a single project, which explains why it won't let you build the other one.
This is what a multi-root workspace with multiple projects looks like - note the circle to the left of each project (which isn't present in your screenshot):
Try starting over.
1) Open VS Code (with a blank workspace)
2) File > Open Folder Add Folder to Workspace > [select WebRequest folder]
3) File > Open Folder Add Folder to Workspace > [select BulkDownload folder]
You can also select multiple folders in the Open Folder dialog using SHIFT-click or CTRL-click, but what you can't do is open the parent folder and expect VS Code to add all of its contents as individual projects, unfortunately.
Another method would be to start VS Code fresh with a blank workspace, then drag and drop your project folders from File Explorer onto the VS Code window. You can also drag and drop folders onto an existing workspace.
I still think the Run behavior for Monkey C is broken.
