Configuring perspectives

In addition to configuring the layout of a perspective you can also control several other key aspects of a perspective. These include:

• The New menu.
• The Window > Open Perspective menu.
• The Window > Show View menu.
• Action sets that show up on the toolbar.

Try customizing one of these items. 

1. In the shortcut bar click on the Resource perspective. 

2. Select Window > Customize Perspective...

3. Select the Commands tab. 

4. Check Launch and click OK.

   

5. Observe that the toolbar now includes buttons for debug/run launching.

   

6. After experimenting with the other options on the Customize Perspective dialog, choose Window > Reset Perspective to return the perspective to its original state.
