The product user interface is composed of menus, toolbars, perspectives, views of information within the perspectives, wizards, and contextual help infopops. To reduce workspace clutter, a limited set of these tools is enabled by default, depending on your role, when you start the workbench.
All of the tools available in the workbench are grouped into logical sets called capabilities, which can have hierarchical relationships. Roles are sets of capabilities. You can add more tools by activating additional roles, and thus enabling additional product capabilities, as you work.
If you create projects or import resources that require tools that are not already enabled, you are prompted to add the associated capabilities to your workspace. To add capabilities to your workspace, click Window > Preferences, and then click Workbench > Capabilities to see a list of role options.
To select additional capabilities, expand the top-level categories and select the checkboxes beside the capabilities you need. To add the capabilities to your workspace, click Apply and OK.
You can also add sets of capabilities by enabling additional user roles from the Enable roles menu in the Welcome perspective. To display the menu, click the Enable Roles icon in the lower right corner of the Welcome home page.
You can easily add multiple capabilities at one time by selecting one or more the following roles:
