RE: JLpex full screen or not at all?

Switching between perspective is not the same as Fast Views.  I prefer to 
switch between perspectives.  It is quick and easy to do.  There is 
nothing magic about Perspectives.  All they are are a pre-arranged setting 
of views.  I usually create one or two the way I like them and then save 
them with my own names.  You do not have to be in the Java perspective to 
edit Java for example.  If you want to do it while in RSE, just open the 
Java Views you need, like the Package Explorer and Outline and stack them 
with the RSE explorer.  Then just open a Java file when you want to edit 
it.

What I do not like about Fast Views is just the mechanics of how they 
work.  I prefer to arrange the views the way I want them, and then just 
double-click the editors to maximize them when I need to.

The great thing about Eclipse/WDSC is that we can each work the way we 
want to.  We are not forced to use any specific pre-defined Perspectives 
or arrangements of windows.

>5)  Finally there is something called Fast Views which I like to avoid at
all costs.  Basically, if you click on the icon for a view you can make it
into a Fast View.  This turns the view into an icon on the Perspective 
bar.
When you click on the icon the view opens over the content in the window,
and can then be closed again.  It works best for tree-like views that work
OK when they are narrow.  If you change your mind about the Fast View, 
just
right-click on its icon in the Perspective bar and choose Close View. When
you re-open it, it will be a normal view again.


Interesting, that is one of my favorite features:-)  Fastview gives me a 
lot
more screen real-estate and makes certain perspectives readily available
when I need them.
