StarTeam Activity Perspective

The StarTeam Activity perspective provides a suggested UI layout for activity-driven development. You can use the views in this perspective when working with and editing your files and using StarTeam as your source control provider.

The perspective shows the item and details views side-by-side and provides editor space so you can compare file edits and review changes before synchronizing with the StarTeam repository. It also provides an activity-driven development approach enabling you to select assigned action items, work on them in the editor area, change the status of the process item, and/or check in the work related to it.

The StarTeam Activity perspective opens all views provided in the StarTeam Classic perspective including the Editor view.

By default, this perspective includes the following views:

Editor
Server Explorer
Package Explorer
Navigator
Change Request
Requirement
Task
Topic
Audit Log
Properties
History
Label
Link
Reference

When opening any of the perspectives or views, a main menu command displays along with additional StarTeam-specific toolbar buttons.

Note: Once connected to a StarTeam server configuration, the Navigator and Package Explorers display the StarTeam project or view name in brackets next to the root folder name. For example, if your root Eclipse project folder is MyProject, your project name is StarDraw, and your view name is MyView, the Navigator and Package Explorers display: MyProject [StarDraw/MyView]
