Java perspectives, views, and editor overview

Within RAD v7.5, there are three predefined perspectives containing the views and the editor that are most commonly used while developing Java SE applications:

Java perspective

Java Browsing perspective

Java Type Hierarchy perspective

Those perspectives and their main views were briefly introduced in Chapter | , Perspectives, views, and editors. In this section we go deeper into the details and describe some more useful views. The highlighted areas in Figure | -1 indicate all perspectives and views that we discuss.

Figure 8-1 Views in the Java perspective [customized]

Note: Figure 8-1 shows a customized Java perspective. It is the predefined Java perspective with some more useful views added. We recommend that you also customize the perspectives so that they fit your requirements. A customized perspective can be saved by selecting Window Æ Save Perspective As. A modified perspective can be set back to a predefined or saved perspective by selecting Window Æ Reset Perspective.
