| <P > |
| The platform itself defines one perspective, the <b> Resource</b> perspective. Other platform plug-ins, such as |
| the help system and the Java tooling, define additional perspectives. Your plug-in can define its own |
| perspective by contributing to the <b><a href="../reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_perspectives.html">org.eclipse.ui.perspectives</a></b> |
| extension point.</P> |
| <P > |
| The specification of the perspective in the <b> plugin.xml</b> is straightforward. The following markup is used by the workbench in defining its own resource perspective.</P> |
| <pre> |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectives"> |
| <perspective |
| name="%Perspective.resourcePerspective" |
| icon="icons/full/cview16/resource_persp.png" |
| class="org.eclipse.ui.internal.ResourcePerspective" |
| id="org.eclipse.ui.resourcePerspective"> |
| </perspective> |
| </extension></pre> |
| <P > |
| A plug-in must supply an <b> id</b> and <b> name</b> for the perspective, along with the name of the |
| <b> class</b> that implements the perspective. An <b> icon</b> can also be specified. The perspective class should implement |
| <b><a href="../reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/IPerspectiveFactory.html">IPerspectiveFactory</a></b>.</P> |
