| <title>J2EE perspective</title> |

| <h1 class="topictitle1">J2EE perspective</h1> |
| <div><p>The J2EE perspective includes workbench views that you can use |
| when developing resources for enterprise applications, EJB modules, Web modules, |
| application client modules, and connector projects or modules.</p> |
| <p>You can rearrange the location, tiling, and size of the views within the |
| perspective. You can also add other views to the J2EE perspective by clicking <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Show View</span></span> and |
| selecting the view.</p> |
| <p>The workbench provides synchronization between different views and editors. |
| This is also true in the J2EE perspective.</p> |
| <p>By default, the J2EE perspective includes the following workbench views:</p> |
| <dl><dt class="dlterm"><span class="uicontrol">Project Explorer</span></dt> |
| <dd>The Project Explorer provides an integrated view of your projects, grouped |
| by type, and their artifacts related to J2EE development. It displays navigable |
| models of J2EE deployment descriptors, Java™ artifacts (source folders, packages, |
| and classes), navigable models of the available Web services, and specialized |
| views of Web modules to simplify the development of dynamic Web applications. |
| In addition, EJB database mapping and the configuration of projects for a |
| J2EE application server are made readily available.</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm"><span class="uicontrol"> Outline</span></dt> |
| <dd>The Outline view in the J2EE perspective shows the outline of the file |
| that you are editing. For example, if you are using a tabbed deployment descriptor |
| editor, the Outline view shows the outline for the selected page's elements, |
| and if you are editing on the Source tab, the outline for the XML source is |
| displayed. If you are editing an enterprise bean in the Java editor, |
| the Outline view shows the outline for the Java class.</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm"><span class="uicontrol">Tasks</span></dt> |
| <dd>The Tasks view lists the to-do items that you have entered.</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm"><span class="uicontrol">Problems</span></dt> |
| <dd>The Problems view displays problems, warnings, or errors associated with |
| the selected project. You can double-click on an item to address the specific |
| problem in the appropriate resource.</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm"><span class="uicontrol">Properties</span></dt> |
| <dd>The Properties view provides a tabular view of the properties and associated |
| values of objects in files you have open in an editor. For example, you can |
| specify converters in the Properties view of the Mapping editor.</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm"><span class="uicontrol">Status bar</span></dt> |
| <dd>The Status bar provides a description of the location of selected objects |
| in the Project Explorer views in the left side. When file and deployment descriptors |
| are open, the status bar shows the read-only state of the files and the line |
| and column numbers when applicable. Sometimes when long operations run, a |
| status monitor will appear in the status bar, along with a button with a stop |
| sign icon. Clicking the stop sign stops the operation when the operation can |
| be cancelled.</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm"><span class="uicontrol">Servers</span></dt> |
| <dd>The Servers view shows all the created server instances. You can start |
| and stop each server from this view, and you can launch the test client.</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm"><span class="uicontrol">Snippets</span></dt> |
| <dd>The Snippets view provides categorized pieces of code that |
| you can insert into appropriate places in your source code.</dd> |
