In Eclipse, how do I change perspectives after terminating a process?

To complete mark's answer, that option tells Eclipse when to switch to the associated perspective upon program suspension - meaning when a breakpoint is hit, it will switch to Debug perspective.

To complete mark's answer, that option tells Eclipse when to switch to the associated perspective upon program suspension - meaning when a breakpoint is hit, it will switch to Debug perspective. Switching back to another perspective after you're done debugging has to be manual If you want to avoid it switching to Debug in the first place, you can choose "Never" as the option. If you want to switch back in the situation where the debugged program terminates normally (Not when you want to stop debugging it yourself), you may hope Eclipse figures out that your program terminates normally and switch to a "default" perspective at that time... However, there is no notion of "default" perspective, so how would Eclipse knows which one to switch to?(the "Preferences/Perspectives/Make default" is only for the "Open Perspective" dialog, but that may not be the same perspective than the one you actually want to switch back to after a debug) Also, should Eclipse closes the Debug perspective or just changes to a different one?

What if there is more than one program running -- when one terminates, you might still be interested in debugging the other one, or maybe not. The point is, the decision about when to change perspective (and what perspective to change to) is not reasonable for the machine to make -- it requires a person knowing what he wants to do next.

6 I agree with everything but "is not reasonable for the machine to make ". Visual Studio does a fine job by returning to the main view when there are no processes left to debug. – Joe Ludwig Feb 7 '09 at 2:51 @Joe Ludwig: agreed.

Eclipse may be victim of its own complexity, tricking itself into not offering this feature. – VonC Feb 7 '09 at 11:47 @Joe Ludwig: btw, sorry: I did not play at Pirate: I am not so much into MMO... Right now, I play GTAIV (solo) ;) – VonC Feb 7 '09 at 11:50 1 I think the appropriate solution would be to switch back to the previous perspective that I was in before the debug perspective, if all debug sessions have ended. As Joe mentioned, Visual Studio, and all other IDEs i've used do this by default.

You would need to write eclipse plugin here I found example how in plugin switch perspective.

8 I am surprised that such a fundamental user interaction is missing from what is supposedly the worlds most used IDE. – helifreak Feb 7 '09 at 0:03 Apparently, you're only missing the function once you got used to Visual Studio. ;) But yeah... I feel the pain with you.

I filed a bug for this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug. Cgi? Id=327983.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
