| In the Eclipse Platform a view is typically used to navigate a |
| hierarchy of information, open an editor, or display properties |
| for the active editor. In this article the design and |
| implementation of a view will be examined in detail. You'll |
| learn how to create a simple view based on SWT, and a more |
| advanced view using the JFace viewer hierarchy. We'll also look |
| at ways to achieve good integration with many of the existing |
| features in the workbench, such as the window menu and toolbar, |
| view linking, workbench persistence and action extension. |
