| <h1> Changing the active perspective when launching </h1> |
| You can control which perspective becomes active when a program is launched |
| and when it suspends. The setting is configurable for each launch configuration |
| type, for each of the launch modes it supports. |
| <p>To activate a particular perspective when a program is launched, do the following:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.debug.ui.PerspectivePreferencePage)")'> <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Opens the Run/Debug Perspectives preference page"> <strong>Run/Debug > Perspectives</strong></a> preference page. </li> |
| <li>Select the <strong>Always</strong> option for the <strong>Open the associated |
| perspective when launching</strong> preference. This will cause the perspective |
| associated with a program to become active whenever it is launched.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>To activate a particular perspective when a program is suspends, do the following:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.debug.ui.PerspectivePreferencePage)")'> <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Opens the Run/Debug Perspectives preference page"> <strong>Run/Debug > Perspectives</strong></a> preference page. </li> |
| <li> Select the <strong>Always</strong> option for the <strong>Open the associated |
| perspective when an application suspends</strong> preference. This will |
| cause the perspective associated with a program to become active whenever |
| a program suspends.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>To associate a particular perspective with a program, do the following:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.debug.ui.PerspectivePreferencePage)")'> <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Opens the Run/Debug Perspectives preference page"> <strong>Run/Debug > Perspectives</strong></a> preference page. </li> |
| <li>Select the type of application that you would like to |
| associate a perspective with (for example, <strong>Java Application</strong>). </li> |
| <li>For each launch mode, select the desired perspective using the combo box. This |
| will cause the perspective you choose to become active based on your preference |
| settings (i.e. when a program is launched and/or when it suspends).</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>If the specified perspective is not open at the time it needs to be activated, |
| that perspective is created. </p> |
