Within Eclipse, there is some additional customization necessary to access Plug-in features from the top-level menu. These features are not required to be activated for the Plug-in to run but will make access to build functions more convenient.
While context-sensitive popup menu options will be immediately available, Plug-in specific menu-bar items will need to be activated through Perspective Customization. After launching Eclipse perform the following actions:
