| <intro>This page will help familiarize you with the Workbench. | |
| To get started, read the sections below and click on the related links. </intro> | |
| <item><b>Create Java components </b> | |
| To begin Java development, create a <action pluginId="org.eclipse.jdt.ui" class="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.OpenProjectWizardAction">Java project</action>. Select the newly created project | |
| and choose File > New > Other... . In the left column of the wizard, select Java and double | |
| click on Java Package in the right column. Fill in the name of your package and click Finish. | |
| To create a Java class, select the package in the navigator view and click on the | |
| "Open the New Wizard" toolbar button (on the far left of the toolbar). This toolbar button | |
| provides us with a quick alternative to File > New > Other... . Choose Java Class in the right | |
| column of the category Java, and click Next. In the class wizard fill in the name of your class | |
| and click Finish to create the class and start editing it.</item> | |
| <item><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. | |
| To open the Java perspective choose Window > Open Perspective > Java. </item> | |
| <item><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 | |
| far left of the window). </item> | |
| <item><b>Join a CVS team</b> | |
| To join a CVS development team, open the <action pluginId="org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui" class="org.eclipse.team.internal.ccvs.ui.actions.ShowCVSPerspectiveAction">CVS Perspective</action>. Next, specify the location of | |
| your CVS repository. To do this choose <action pluginId="org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui" class="org.eclipse.team.internal.ccvs.ui.actions.NewCVSRepositoryAction">New > CVS Repository Location...</action> from the Repositories | |
| view popup menu. When the location wizard opens, fill in the details of your CVS repository | |
| and click Finish. </item> | |
