Chapter 10. Perspectives

Perspectives are a way to group Eclipse views and actions for a particular task such as coding or debugging. Larger Eclipse enhancements that involve multiple plug-ins may provide their own perspectives. Smaller Eclipse enhancements that involve only one or two plug-ins and provide only one or two new Eclipse views typically enhance existing perspectives rather than provide entirely new perspectives.

This chapter will further extend the Favorites example by creating a new perspective for hosting the Favorites view and show how to add the Favorites view to existing perspectives.
