Perspectives

A perspective is a group of views and editors that shows various aspects of the resources in the workbench, and helps you to complete specific tasks.

You can switch perspectives, depending on the task at hand, and customize the layout of views and editors. Switch between perspectives by clicking Window > Open Perspective > Other and clicking the name of the perspective to which you want to switch.
