2.2.1.1. Perspective, Editors, and Views

Each workbench window contains one or more perspectives. Each perspective provides a set of capabilities for accomplishing a specific type of task.

Most perspectives in the workbench comprise an editor area and one or more views. An editor allows you to open and edit a project resource (i.e., a file, folder, or project). Views support editors and provide alternative presentations and ways to navigate the information in your workbench.

Any number of editors can be open at once, but only one can be active at a time. The main menu bar and toolbar for the workbench window contain operations that are applicable to the active editor. Tabs in the editor area indicate the names of resources that are currently open for editing. An asterisk (*) indicates that an editor has unsaved changes. Views can also provide their own menus and toolbars, which, if present, appear along the top edge of the view. To open the menu for a view, click the drop-down arrow icon at the right of the view's toolbar or right-click in the view. A view might appear on its own or stacked with other views in a tabbed notebook
