Note: If Visual Studio prompts you on startup to select an initial action, click Continue without code.

Open the Team Developer Perspective and Application Explorer View in Eclipse

When you start Enterprise Developer for the first time, the Team Developer perspective starts automatically by default, and shows the Application Explorer view. If this is not the case, open the Team Developer perspective as follows:

1. From the Eclipse IDE, click Open Perspective .
2. On the Open Perspective dialog box, select Team Developer (default), and then click Open.

In addition, the Enterprise Development Projects system should be loaded in the Application Explorer view. To confirm this:

• In the Application Explorer view, you should see the Enterprise Developer system. If the system is not shown, to load it:
  1. Right-click in the Application Explorer view, and then click Add System(s).
  2. In the Add System(s) dialog box, select ED System and click OK.
