A perspective defines the initial set and layout of views in the Workbench window. One or more perspectives can exist in a single Workbench window.
Perspectives can be opened in one of two ways:
Perspectives define visible action sets, which you can change to customize a perspective. You can save a perspective that you build in this manner, making your own custom perspective that you can open again later.
The Workbench window displays one or more perspectives. Initially one perspective, the Resource perspective, is displayed. A perspective consists of views like the Navigator view and editors for working with your resources. More than one Workbench window can be open at any given time.
So far we have only used the Resource perspective (shown below). In this section we will explore how to open and work with other perspectives.
A perspective provides us with a set of capabilities aimed at accomplishing a specific type of task, or working with a specific types of resources.
