First Steps

Some Precautionary Steps

  1. In order to be able to see the views that ACTF contributes to the Java and Plug-in Development Perspectives, you will need to either manually open these views or reset your perspective.

    To open these views manually, select Window->Show View->Other...->ACTF and expand the ACTF node and open the desired view.

    To reset the perspective, select Window->Reset Perspective.

  2. If you installed over a prior release of RAVEN or ACTF and did not clean up your ACTF preferences first you may experience some problems. You can still correct this by opening each ACTF preference page and selecting Restore Defaults and then Apply or Ok.
