Changing workbench preferences

The workbench has a large number of preferences that you can change to suit your requirements. Some of these are specific to the product plug-ins that you have installed within the workbench, including those for WebSphere Message Broker. Others control more general options, such as the colors and fonts in which information is displayed.

To access the workbench preferences:

  1. Select Window > Preferences.
  2. Click the plus sign associated with Workbench, typically the first entry in the left pane. An expanded list of options appears, Select the aspect of the workbench that you want to modify. These options might be of interest:
    Startup and shutdown
    Switch on, or off, the prompt at toolkit startup that asks you to confirm the workspace location. Typically you switch this prompt off, so that it does not appear, but you can force it to appear next time you start the workbench if you want to specify a different location.

    Here you can also choose to display, or not display, the dialog that asks you to confirm shutdown of the workbench.

    Colors and fonts
    Change the default fonts and colors that appear in the workbench.
    Perspectives
    On this dialog, your choices include the option to open a new perspective in a new window.
  3. When you have made your changes, click OK to close the Preferences dialog.

Below the Workbench category in the Preference dialog are items that refer specifically to WebSphere Message Broker resources, such as message flows. Review the following topics for information about setting preferences and other values that are specific to your use of these resources:
