Changing to the Dr. Java Perspective

• Even if you have used other IDEs (integrated development environments) before, the notion of perspective may be new to you. In Eclipse, the layout of the user interface can be totally changed at the click of a button. These layouts are called "perspectives" and they have various purposes.  Dr. Java is an Eclipse perspective and the one we want to use as we write our code.  In order to open this perspective select Window->Open Perspective ->Other... and then select Dr Java. The following images illustrate the process of changing to this perspective:

The following represents the look associated with the Dr. Java perspective

Resetting the Perspective

If at any time you will like to reset the Dr Java perspective just select Window->Reset Perspective. This helpful specially if, by mistake, you close any panes in the window.
