Hola,

When for example you use something like gradle to get some outside code from somewhere. You would use Make Project. This builds the project. Pulls in the code you need and builds your application.

Run is for running an already built application. Sometimes you need to venture out to the web to pull down artifacts during a build. A simple run command wont do that, but a Make Project will. So you are ready to run the project.

make project = build run = run built project.

Does that make sense.
