The Debug Perspective

Eclipse offers a debugging perspective that is different from the Java Perspective (a.k.a. the default perspective). You can swap between perspectives by clicking on Window > Open Perspective > Debug.

Debugging Perspective

After you have selected the Debug perspective, Eclipse will change its layout and toolbars. You can quickly identify what perspective Eclipse is using based on the icon showing in the upper right hand corner of Eclipse.

Quick Perspective

Eclipse will list all perspectives that have been recently used in the same area. We will be using the Debug perspective for the rest of this lab. If you are not currently in the Debug perspective, please switch over now.
