That is right. Changing perspectives is not necessary. You can open
any view you want in any perspective you want. You can always open a
view in your favorite perspective using Window->Show View->Other...,
then select the view you want to open. A perspective is just a
collection of views and you can customize the views you want in any
perspective. You can have the "Debug" view in the IDL perspective, if
you like. For Perforce, I mainly use the views: "P4 Depots", "P4
Pending Changelists", and sometimes the "P4 Log Console". The
Perforce "Pending Changelists" view allows one to see all the code
that is "checked out", or being edited by you. You right-click a file
in this view, and then choose "Submit..." to check individual files or
entire changelists back into the repository.
