3.4.8 Window Menu

3.4.8 Window Menu

This menu offers a number of options for selecting views and perspectives and moving around the workbench. Actions include:

• New Window: Opens a new workbench instance. This allows you to have two or more perspectives visible at once.

• New Editor: Opens an empty editor window.

• Open Perspective: Allows you to select another perspective. The choices offered depend on where you are. In any case, there’s always an Other… case that lists all of the perspectives available.

• Show View: Brings up a list of views to make visible. Depending on where you are, the views you are most likely to be interested in are listed first. Again, there’s an Other…. selection to select any possible view.

• Customize Perspective: Each perspective includes a predefined set of actions accessible from menus and the workbench toolbar. This command brings up a dialog that lets you customize the actions in the current perspective.

• Save Perspective As: Saves the current perspective, thus giving you the opportunity to create custom perspectives, which may be opened with Window?Open Perspective?Other.

• Reset Perspective: Returns the current perspective to its original layout.

• Close Perspective: Closes the current perspective. Basically, this just makes another open perspective visible.

• Close All Perspectives: Closes all open perspectives. This leaves the workbench essentially blank with just the Open Perspective icon visible. All open editors are closed.

• Navigation: Brings up an extensive submenu that provides another way to move among views, perspectives, and editors.

• Preferences…: Leads you to the configuration dialog for Eclipse. There are many preference options, which are the subject of the next section.
