RE: [WDSCI-L] How to recreate perspective

["Mark Phippard" <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not saying this will never be the case, but in general you should 
NEVER have to uninstall/re-install and Eclipse-based application like 
WDSC.  Any problems you experience are likely confined to your workspace, 
not the actual installation.  The first thing I would do is rename my 
workspace and then restart WDSC.  This will create a new workspace from 
scratch and let you start over.  If the problem is gone, then you can 
import from your old workspace or perhaps try to rename your old workspace 
back and see if it is something you can fix manually.  It really depends 
on what you are doing in your workspace.  For example, I have all of my 
projects stored in a source repository so all I do is create a new 
workspace and re-import my projects.  For RSE, I usually recreate my 
filters, but it is possible to copy them, at least in theory.

I also try to regularly export my preferences to a file so that I can just 
import them into my new workspace, that can save a lot of time.
