Client environment

The Message Brokers Toolkit for WebSphere Studio is an integrated development environment and graphical user interface based on the Eclipse platform.

Application developers work in separate instances of the Message Brokers Toolkit to develop message sets and message flows. The Message Brokers Toolkit also communicates with one or more Configuration Managers, and is used to manage broker domains.

The workbench window

When you start the Message Brokers Toolkit, a single window is displayed. This is called the workbench window and it displays one or more perspectives.

A perspective is a collection of views and editors that help you complete a specific task, or work with specific types of resource. Initially, the Broker Application Development perspective is displayed. As you work in the workbench, you will switch perspectives frequently.

More than one workbench window can exist in the development environment at any given time.
