How do I customize my Workspace perspectives?

To customize your Workspace perspectives:

  1. Create a new workspace. This way you have a clean start for customization and no changes from an existing modified workspace.
  2. Close the views that you do not want to use for your project manually.
  3. For customizing the buttons and menus visibility in the desired perspective:
    1. Select Window > Customize Perspective from the IDE menu bar.

      The Customize Perspective - <perspective name> dialog box appears.

    3. Click OK.

      The Customize Perspective - <perspective name> dialog box closes.

  4. To save the changes you have made to the IDE's perspective, select Window > Save Perspective As from the IDE menu bar.

    The Save Perspective As dialog box appears.
