Customizing perspectives

You can customize a perspective to display the perspectives, views, wizards, and plug-in interfaces that you use most. This can minimize how often you open frequently-used elements and close elements you do not need. To customize the currently active perspective:
  1. Select Window > Customize Perspective from the menu bar.
  2. Click the node you want to customize to expand it.
  3. Enable and disable check boxes for the node elements. Table 6 lists the customizable perspective nodes and the results of enabling them.
