| <intro>This page will help familiarize you with the Eclipse Workbench. |
| To get started, read the sections below and click on the related links. </intro> |
| |
| <item><b>Installed Features </b> |
| To find out more about the features installed in your workbench, choose <action pluginId="org.eclipse.ui" class="org.eclipse.ui.internal.QuickStartAction">Help > Welcome...</action> |
| and select the feature you are interested in.</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.</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 Repository Exploring 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 > Repository Location...</action> from the |
| CVS Repositories view popup menu. When the location wizard opens, fill in the details of your |
| CVS repository and click Finish. |
| |
| A repository location will appear in the CVS Repositories view. Expand the location, then expand |
| the HEAD branch. You will see a list of the modules in that repository, which you can check out as |
| an Eclipse project. |
| |
| For an anonymous connection to the Eclipse CVS repository, choose |
| <action pluginId="org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui" class="org.eclipse.team.internal.ccvs.ui.actions.NewCVSAnonEclipseConnection">New > Anonymous Repository Location to dev.eclipse.org...</action>. Select the newly created location |
| and expand HEAD. You will see the list of all the Eclipse modules, most of which are platform plugins. |
| Select a plugin and choose <b>Checkout as Project</b> from the context menu. This will checkout |
| the module from the CVS repository and create a plugin project by that name in your workspace.</item> |
