Changing the active perspective when launching
You can control which perspective becomes active when a program is
launched and when it suspends. The setting is configurable for each launch
configuration type, for each of the launch modes it supports.
To activate a particular perspective when a program is launched, do the
following:
- Open the
Run/Debug
> Perspectives preference page.
- Select the Always option for the Open the
associated perspective when launching preference. This will
cause the perspective associated with a program to become active whenever
it is launched.
To activate a particular perspective when a program is suspends, do the
following:
- Open the
Run/Debug
> Perspectives preference page.
- Select the Always option for the Open the
associated perspective when an application suspends
preference. This will cause the perspective associated with a
program to become active whenever a program suspends.
To associate a particular perspective with a program, do the following:
- Open the
Run/Debug
> Perspectives preference page.
- Select the type of application that you would like to associate a
perspective with (for example, Java Application).
- For each launch mode, select the desired perspective using the combo
box. This will cause the perspective you choose to become active
based on your preference settings (i.e. when a program is launched and/or
when it suspends).
If the specified perspective is not open at the time it needs to be
activated, that perspective is created.
