Views in the C/C++ Perspective

The C/C++ views are views in SDK 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. To do this, select Window > Show View > Other and select a new view from the Show View dialog box. To reset the current perspective to its original layout, select Window > Reset Perspective.

The following views are commonly used in the C/C++ perspective:

C/C++ Projects: Displays, in a tree structure, only elements relevant to C and C++ projects.
Console: Displays the output from your program and build tools.
Editor: Provides specialized features for editing C/C++ related files.
Make Targets: Enables you to select the make targets you want to build in your workspace.
Navigator: Shows all of the file system files under your workspace directory.
Outline: Displays the structure of the file currently open in an editor.
Problems View: Displays errors encountered during the build.
Properties: Shows the attributes of the item currently selected in a view or an editor.
Search: Shows the results of searches for files or text.
Tasks: Lists tasks to keep track of, either as a schedule of things to do or a history of things that have been done.
