The Java development tools contribute the following views to the workbench:
The Package Explorer view shows a Java-specific view of resources inside Java projects in your workbench. The Java element hierarchy is defined by the project's build class paths and consists of elements like
The Type Hierarchy view allows you to look at the complete hierarchy for a type, only its subtypes, or only its supertypes. You can also open the hierarchy on a project, source folder or package.
The Call Hierarchy view allows you to look at the callers and callees for a selected Java member.
The Java outline view displays an outline of the structure of the currently-active Java file in the editor area.
The JUnit view shows you the JUnit test run progress and status, and allows you to rerun tests.
The Javadoc view shows the Javadoc of the element selected in the Java editor or in a Java view.
The Declaration view shows the source of the element selected in the Java editor or in a Java view.
The Projects view shows Java projects, source folders, external and internal
libraries.
Note: source folders and libraries (both internal and external) presented in this view
are not expandable. When they are selected, their contents are shown in the Packages
view.
The Packages view shows a list of Java packages from the currently selected Java projects, source folders or libraries. Typically, the Projects view is used to make this selection.
The Types view shows a list of Java types from the currently selected packages. Typically, the Packages view is used to make this selection.
The Members view shows the content of a type, compilation unit or CLASS file. Typically, the Types view is used to make this selection.
The Debug view allows you to manage the debugging or running of a program in the workbench. It displays the stack frame for the suspended threads for each target you are debugging. Each thread in your program appears as a node in the tree. It displays the process for each target you are running.
The Breakpoints view lists all the breakpoints you currently have set in your workspace. You can also enable or disable breakpoints, delete them, add new ones, group them by working set, or configure attributes of a selected breakpoint.
Data can be inspected in the Expressions view. You can inspect data from a scrapbook page, a stack frame of a suspended thread, and other places. The Expressions View opens automatically when an item is added to the view. Entries in the Expressions View can be selected to have more detailed information be displayed in the Detail Pane. When debugging a Java program, data that contains variables can be expanded to show the variables and the fields the variables contain.
The Variables view displays information about the variables associated with the stack frame selected in the Debug View. When debugging a Java program, variables can be selected to have more detailed information be displayed in the Detail Pane. In addition, Java objects can be expanded to show the fields that variable contains.
The Console view displays a variety of console types depending on the type of development and the current set of user settings. The consoles that are provided by default with the Eclipse Platform are:
The Display view displays the result of evaluating an expression in the context of the current stack frame. You can evaluate and display a selection either from the editor or directly from the Display View.
Both the appearance and behavior of the Java views can be customized.
