Use the z/OS Projects perspective to define, connect, and work with remote systems, and to create, edit, and build projects, subprojects, and files on remote UNIX and z/OS® systems.

The z/OS Projects perspective is included with the Developer for z/OS edition of the product.

The z/OS Projects perspective contains the following views:

Some components add views to this perspective when you install them. The Eclipse EGit component, for example, adds the Git Repositories view and the Git Staging view to this perspective.

You can close views and open views to customize the perspective.

If you close a view, you can open the view again. To open one of the default views that were closed:
  1. In the workbench, select Window (on Windows) or IBM® Developer for z/OS (on macOS) > Show View. A menu that lists the default views associated with the z/OS Projects perspective is displayed.
  2. Click the name of the view you want to open.
To open a view that is not a default for the perspective you are working in, you must determine the perspective that contributes the view:
  1. In the workbench, select Window (on Windows) or IBM Developer for z/OS (on macOS) > Show View > Other. Folders are listed for each perspective that is defined in the workbench.
  2. Search through the folders until you find the view you want to open.
  3. Click the name of the view you want to open.
When you have a custom mix of default and other views you would like to use repeatedly based on a perspective, you can save this customized perspective:
  1. In the workbench, select Window (on Windows) or IBM Developer for z/OS (on macOS) > Save Perspective As.
  2. Type a name for your customized perspective in the Name field.
You can now open, close, and reset the customized perspective to the default configuration you defined when you saved the customized perspective.
