<b>Perspectives, views and editors </b>
A window contains one or more perspectives. A perspective consists of
views (e.g. Navigator)
and editors for working with your resources.
The
shortcut bar at the far left of the window allows you to open new
perspectives and move
between perspectives that are already open. The
perspective you are currently
working with
is shown in the title of the
window and in the shortcut bar as a
pushed-in icon.

<b>Configuring your perspectives</b>
You can move views and editors around the workbench by dragging their
titlebars. You can
also add more views to your current perspective by
using Window > Show
View.
To reset the perspective to its original
state, choose
<action pluginId="org.eclipse.ui"
class="org.eclipse.ui.internal.ResetPerspectiveAction">Window > Reset Perspective</action>
.
Once you have arranged your perspective, you can save it using Window
>
Save Perspective As....
You can customize the views, perspectives and
New menu operations that
show up for
your perspective. To do this choose
<action pluginId="org.eclipse.ui" class="org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditActionSetsAction">Window > Customize
Perspective...
</action>
.
A view can additionally be converted into a Fast View by dragging it
to
the shortcut bar (at the
