Perspectives determine how information appears in the workbench, in menus, and in toolbars. Perspectives are task oriented. For example, you use the Design perspective to model the entities in your cartridges. You use the Environment perspective to create and manage the attributes associated with your environment and to deploy and undeploy cartridges. Each perspective contains a default layout and a set of views which you can customize.
When working with perspectives, see:
Perspectives define your Workbench layout and provide different functionality for working with different types of resources. The following are the most common perspectives in Design Studio:
The Design perspective is a layout containing a collection of views that you use for cartridge modeling and configuration.
Note:
The Design perspective default layout is best viewed using a wide screen monitor format. Oracle recommends that you use a monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio.The Environment perspective is a layout containing a collection of views that enable you to create and manage the attributes associated with your environment. Use this perspective to deploy or undeploy cartridges to an environment and to control and manage all of your environments.
The Java perspective is a layout containing a collection of views that contain project folders and files that are generated in builds.
The Design Studio perspectives work together with perspectives that are not native to Design Studio but are commonly used for tasks such as implementation, debugging, version control (for example, the perspectives for Debug, Resource, and so forth).
You can switch perspectives to display different sets of default views and editors.
To switch perspectives:
From the Window menu, select Open Perspective.
A list of recent selections appears at the top of the menu.
