These topics explain the fundamentals of using EGL in the
Eclipse IDE, as well as changes to the EGL language and IDE in this
version.
Using EGL with the Eclipse IDE
The Eclipse IDE offers a graphical user interface (GUI)
called the workbench, in which users perform work by pointing and
clicking objects on the screen as well as by typing code. In this
way, when you are working with EGL, you are using the Eclipse workbench,
so it is worth taking a minute to look at the tools in the workbench.
Enabling EGL capabilities
Capabilities
keep the workbench menus from becoming cluttered by
hiding items you do not use. You can always perform these tasks, but
to make
them appear in the menus, you must enable the capability for that
area of
functionality.
