Exploring the Workbench
The Eclipse workbench is comprised of several “perspectives”. A perspective is a set of tabbed windows used for a particular task. The most frequently used perspective is the Java perspective. It's used to edit, compile, and run your code. The Debug perspective is used for step-through debugging. The Java Browsing perspective is useful for browsing through the various components like packages and classes in a Java project.
The current perspective is identified and can be changed in the small box in the upper right hand corner of the screen. It should currently say Java, indicating the Java perspective.
You can also go to “Window→Open perspective” and change the perspective. The Java Perspective is the default perspective.
Continue to Step 4 to look at the Java perspective.
