How to Add a Server Perspective to Eclipse
The Eclipse programming environment lets you switch between different perspectives, so you can program in different languages and different environments. A server perspective provides you with an interface for programming Web apps. You use Eclipse to connect to a Web server so you can create Web applications and view the pages hosted on the server using the Eclipse browser.
