12 Data Integration with Sybase Avaki Studio
The Resource perspective
After you specify a workspace directory, a window opens to display the Resource per-
spective, which is the opening screen for Eclipse Workbench.
Background: Eclipse Workbench concepts
Avaki Studio is built on the Eclipse Workbench platform, version 3.1.2. Some of the
tools and concepts you’ll use to work on Avaki view models originate in Workbench:
Workspace. A container for projects. Each workspace stores files related to its
projects in a workspace directory whose location you specify. The workspace direc-
tory, in turn, contains a subdirectory for each project you create.
Project. A container for view models. You can have multiple view models in one
project and multiple projects in a workspace.
Perspective. A collection of Workbench panes customized to facilitate work on
projects of a particular type. Studio includes a preconfigured Avaki perspective that
lets you create projects and view models right away.
