Eclipse Terminology: Workbenches

13


Eclipse Terminology: Workbenches

The Eclipse workbench:
The term workbench is used to describe the
environment where all of your work is done.
The workbench contains the menu bar,
toolbars, and one or more perspectives.

14


Eclipse Terminology: Menu bar and Toolbar

Menu bar and toolbars:
Comply with typical graphical user interface
(GUI) applications.
Provide the commands to perform standard
tasks such as saving and editing files.

15


Eclipse Terminology: Perspectives

Perspectives:
A perspective is a special layout of particular
views and tools that you need to use in your
work. The currently open perspective
occupies most of the Eclipse workbench. You
can have more than one perspective open at
a time, but only the active one is visible.
Other open perspectives can be accessed by
using the toolbar on the upper right side of
the workbench.

16


Eclipse Terminology: Views (1 of 2)

Views:
Views are designed to support interaction
with information in your workbench. Eclipse is
extensible, so views can be designed to show
nearly any information. Most common views
are views of the file system, program output,
and text files (generally dealt with in a special
view called an editor).

17


Eclipse Terminology: Views (2 of 2)

18


Eclipse Terminology: Editors

Editors:
Editors are a special view, designed for
viewing and editing data. One of the
most common uses of an editor is for
editing source code.

projects and work with your Eclipse installation, go to Window >
Preferences > General > Workspace, and change the text file encoding to
UTF-8.
