  • Choosing a perspective from the Window > Open Perspective menu.

  3. In the Select Perspective dialog choose Debug and click OK.

    Select Perspective

    The Debug perspective is displayed.  

  4. There are several other interesting things to take note of.

    • The title of the window now indicates that the Debug perspective is in use.

    • The shortcut bar contains several perspectives, the original Resource perspective, the new Debug perspective and a few others. The Debug perspective button is pressed in, indicating that it is the current perspective.

    • To display the full name of the perspective right click the perspective bar and check Show Text.
