A perspective provides a set of capabilities that enable you to
work with resources to perform a task.
A perspective is the arrangement of views and editors in the
Workbench.
- Views provide ways to
navigate and work with
resources. Each view has associated menus and may have its
own toolbar.
- Editors provide tools to
create and modify resources.
- Menu bars and context menus
provide the items you need to create and manipulate resources.
- Creation wizards, which are
associated with the resources in a view, guide you through the process of
creating resources, for example, a project.
- Cheat sheets guide you
through complex tasks by either showing you how to perform the task or
performing some of the task for you. A cheat sheet opens as a view in a
perspective.
More than one perspective can be open, but only one perspective at a
time can be displayed in the Workbench. When more than one perspective is open,
you can select the perspective that you want to display from the Perspective
shortcut bar.
