J2EE Perspective

Use the J2EE perspective to develop resources for enterprise applications, such as EJB modules, Web modules, application client modules, and connector projects or modules.

Table 1. Default J2EE perspective views
View Description
Project Explorer Provides an integrated view of navigable models of J2EE deployment descriptors, Java artifacts, (for example, source folders, packages, and classes), navigable models of the available Web services, and specialized views of Web modules to simplify the development of dynamic Web applications. In addition, the Project Explorer provides EJB database mapping and the configuration of projects for a J2EE application server ready for use.
Outline Shows the outline of the file you are editing. For example, if you are using a tabbed deployment descriptor editor, the Outline view shows the outline for the selected page's elements, and if you are editing on the Source tab, the Outline view shows the outline for the XML source. If you are editing an enterprise bean in the Java editor, the Outline view shows the outline for the Java class.
Tasks Lists to-do items that you have entered.
Problems Displays problems, warnings, or errors associated with the selected project. Double-click an item to address the specific problem in the appropriate resource.
Properties Provides a tabular view of the properties and associated values of objects in files you have open in an editor.
Status Bar Provides a description of the location of selected objects in the Project Explorer views in the left side. When file and deployment descriptors are open, the status bar shows the read-only state of the files, and the line and column numbers when applicable. Sometimes when long operations run, a status monitor appears in the status bar, along with a button with a stop sign icon. Click the stop sign to stop the operation when the operation is at a point where it can be cancelled.
Servers Shows all the created server instances. You can start and stop each server from this view, and you can launch the test client.
Snippets Provides categorized pieces of code that you can insert into appropriate places in your source code.
