<h1 class="Head">Perspectives</h1>
<p>Each Workbench window contains one or more perspectives. A
perspective defines the initial set and layout of views in the
Workbench window. Within the window, each perspective shares the
same set of editors. Each perspective provides a set of
functionality aimed at accomplishing a specific type of task or
works with specific types of resources. For example, the Java
perspective combines views that you would commonly use while
editing Java source files, while the Debug perspective contains
the views that you would use while debugging Java programs. As
you work in the Workbench, you will probably switch perspectives
frequently.</p>
<p>Perspectives control what appears in certain menus and
toolbars. They define visible <i>action sets</i>, which you can
change to customize a perspective. You can save a perspective
that you build in this manner, making your own custom perspective
that you can open again later.</p>
<p>You can use the <a class="command-link" href=

page to open perspectives in the same window or in a new
window.</p>
