| <h1 class="Head">Workbench</h1> |
| <p>The term <i>Workbench</i> refers to the desktop development environment. The Workbench aims to achieve seamless |
| tool integration and controlled openness by providing a common paradigm for the creation, management, and navigation |
| of workspace resources.</p> |
| <p>Each Workbench window contains one or more perspectives. Perspectives contain views and editors and control what |
| appears in certain menus and tool bars. More than one Workbench window can exist on the desktop at any given |
| time.</p> |
