Views in the C/C++ perspective
The C/C++ views are panels that help you perform the tasks involved in creating C/C++ programs.
The C/C++ perspective displays these panels in a single Eclipse window.
Changing Views:
- You can add views to a perspective. From the menu bar choose Window > Show View > Other and select a new view from the Show View dialog.
- To reset the current perspective to its original layout, from the menu bar choose Window > Reset Perspective.
