ABAP Perspectives
Just like any other perspectives in Eclipse, the ABAP perspectives define the initial set and layout of tools (views and editors) in the Eclipse window and in this way provide a set of functions aimed at accomplishing a specific type of task. In particular, they work with ABAP development objects that are managed by an ABAP backend system. When using ABAP perspectives, you always have to establish a system connection that is managed by a corresponding ABAP project. The ABAP perspectives enable access to both Eclipse-based and GUI-based ABAP development tools.
The ABAP development tools contribute the following perspectives to the Eclipse workbench:
