ALDSP dataspaces are initially created as projects in the Data Services Studio Eclipse plugin framework. The Eclipse IDE is a rich, open development environment.
While some aspects of Eclipse are described in this section, no attempt is made to replicate the large body of documentation available for Eclipse developers.

| Artifact | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Project Explorer | Contains project artifacts including data services and their functions. |
| Properties editor |
Contains read/write and read only properties associated with the selected artifact. For example a function may be set to public, protected, or private through its Properties editor. |
| Outline manager |
Provides a scrollable view of your model, query, or update mapper. This is particularly useful in large projects since the work area may not be large enough to show all the artifacts. |
| Console |
The console appears whenever the server is accessed. |
| Servers tab |
Display the status of the ALDSP server which in turn provides clients with access to data services and their underlying data sources. |
| Problems tab | Displays problems encountered by the project. |
| Error Log tab |
Displays errors associated with the project. |
The Windows > Show View menu option can be used to add additional windows to the perspective.
In addition, several ALDSP Perspective menu options are provided under:
File > New
These allow you to, first, create an ALDSP dataspace project and then to add various types of data services, models and web service mapper.
