2.20. Restoring a Perspective

Problem

One of Eclipse’s perspectives was rearranged, and too many views were closed. How do you restore the perspective to its original condition?

Solution

If a perspective becomes scrambled to the point of being unrecognizable, you can restore it to its original state by selecting Window Reset Perspective.

Discussion

Eclipse always keeps numerous backups and restore points in its memory. In addition to those platform- and file-specific backups, Eclipse also has default starting points for the windows and perspectives of editors and other components. Reset Perspective gives you that behavior with just a mouse-click and is helpful when things become cluttered and confused.
