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 and clicking the name of the perspective to which you want
to switch.

The Message Brokers Toolkit contains the following
perspectives:
