| <h1>The Workbench</h1> |
| <p class="Para">When the Workbench is launched, the first thing you see is a dialog that allows you to select where |
| the workspace should be located. The workspace is the directory where your work will be stored. For now, just click |
| OK to pick the default location.</p> |
| <p>After the workspace location is chosen, a single Workbench window is displayed. A Workbench window offers one or |
| more perspectives. A perspective contains editors and views, such as the Project Explorer. Multiple Workbench windows |
| can be opened simultaneously. Initially, in the first Workbench window that is opened, the Java perspective is |
| displayed, with only the Welcome view visible. Click the arrow labeled <b>Workbench</b> in the Welcome view to cause |
| the other views in the perspective to become visible. Note you can get the Welcome view back at any time by selecting |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.help.quickStartAction")'><img src= |
| "PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <b>Help > Welcome</b></a>.</p> |
| <p>A shortcut bar appears in the top right corner of the window. This allows you to open new perspectives and switch |
| between ones already open. The name of the active perspective is shown in the title of the window and its item in the |
| shortcut bar is highlighted.</p> |
| <p>You should be seeing the Java perspective. We will switch to the simpler Resource perspective to simplify this |
| tutorial. Select <a class="command-link" href= |
| 'javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective(org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective.perspectiveId=org.eclipse.ui.resourcePerspective)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <b>Window > Perspective > Open |
| Perspective > Other... > Resource</b></a>. The Project Explorer, Outline, and Tasks views should now be |
| visible.<br></p> |
