Hmmm. That is an interesting question. I can't see anyway to create a "new" perspective, only ways to copy existing perspectives.
I assume the perspective you are using is the default one that starts with RDi? "Remote System Explorer"? And this is the one you want to replace?
If you select "Close all perspectives" in the Window menu, then select "Open Perspective|Other...|Java". This will open the java perspective. If you then select "Save Perspective As..." from the Window menu, and give it a name like "RSE Editor" or something, you have created a new perspective.
You then need to close any views you are not interested in, open the views you want to use, organise the views in subgroups and positions you are happy with and then choose the "Save Perspective As..." option again (using the same name this time) to save it.
Personally, I would then use "Save Perspective As..." again to save as a different name so that I had a backup.
Then "Close all perspectives" again, before you open your recently saved perspective just to make certain everything looks clean.
Alternatively, create a brand new workspace. If the Outline view has gone missing because of damaged data (rather than you misplaced it and can't find it) then creating a new perspective may not help anyway.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] create new perspective
My outline seems permanently hidden so I'm following Edmund's advice to create a new perspective.
All hints welcomed as I've yet to find much in help.
