Before you begin, you must complete Exercise 3.1: Starting the product workbench.

In this exercise you will use the Web perspective since it gives you access to unique views and tools targeted towards Web tasks.

You first need to open the Web perspective to create a new customer list page. The perspective should already be open, but if not, check the workbench taskbar on the left for the Web perspective icon, otherwise follow the steps below.

To open the Web perspective:

  1. Click Window > Open Perspective > Other from the workbench menu.
    Opening a perspective

    The Select Perspective dialogs opens.
    Selecting Web perspective

  2. Select Web from the list.
  3. Click OK.

    The workbench shows the Web perspective with the Web Projects open in the Project Explorer.

You have checked that the Web perspective is open and now you are ready to begin Exercise 3.3: Creating the customer list page.
