| <h1> |
| Changing the active perspective when launching |
| </h1>You can control which perspective becomes active when a program is |
| launched and when it suspends. The setting is configurable for each launch |
| configuration type, for each of the launch modes it supports. |
| <p> |
| To activate a particular perspective when a program is launched, do the |
| following: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the <a class="command-link" href= |
| 'javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.debug.ui.PerspectivePreferencePage)")'> |
| |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt= |
| "Opens the Run/Debug Perspectives preference page" /> <strong>Run/Debug |
| > Perspectives</strong></a> preference page. |
| </li> |
| <li>Select the <strong>Always</strong> option for the <strong>Open the |
| associated perspective when launching</strong> preference. This will |
| cause the perspective associated with a program to become active whenever |
| it is launched. |
| </li> |
| |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| To activate a particular perspective when a program is suspends, do the |
| following: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the <a class="command-link" href= |
| 'javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.debug.ui.PerspectivePreferencePage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt= |
| "Opens the Run/Debug Perspectives preference page" /> <strong>Run/Debug |
| > Perspectives</strong></a> preference page. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Select the <strong>Always</strong> option for the <strong>Open the |
| associated perspective when an application suspends</strong> |
| preference. This will cause the perspective associated with a |
| program to become active whenever a program suspends. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| To associate a particular perspective with a program, do the following: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the <a class="command-link" href= |
| 'javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.debug.ui.PerspectivePreferencePage)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt= |
| "Opens the Run/Debug Perspectives preference page" /> <strong>Run/Debug |
| > Perspectives</strong></a> preference page. |
| </li> |
| <li>Select the type of application that you would like to associate a |
| perspective with (for example, <strong>Java Application</strong>). |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>For each launch mode, select the desired perspective using the combo |
| box. This will cause the perspective you choose to become active |
| based on your preference settings (i.e. when a program is launched and/or |
| when it suspends). |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| If the specified perspective is not open at the time it needs to be |
| activated, that perspective is created. |
