Eclipse Perspectives
A perspective defines the initial set and layout of views in the Workbench window [47]. 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 used while debugging
Java programs. Switching perspectives frequently while working in the Workbench is expected.
Perspectives control what appears in certain menus and toolbars. They define visible action sets,
which can be changed to customize a perspective. A perspective that you build in this manner can
be saved, making a custom perspective that can be opened again later.
Use

Open Perspective
to open a perspective. Once a perspective is opened it is
be placed in the tool bar to switch perspectives. See
Figure 87.

Attaching Source Files when Debugging
When you are debugging a program if Eclipse doesn’t find the source files it will show something
like Figure 88 (For example when debugging a remote program that was not started by Eclipse).
To fix this:
1. Click the Edit Source Lookup Path… button from Figure 88 to open the Edit Source Lookup Path
dialog.
