Starting ZIETrans Toolkit and perspective

The ZIETrans Toolkit can be started by running the ZIETrans.exe file inside the eclipse folder and ZIETrans perspective gets opened automatically.

Note: To open the ZIETrans toolkit in Japanese, a few modifications need to be made in the eclipse.ini file.

The ZIETrans perspective includes two main areas:

The ZIETrans Projects view, which lists your ZIETrans projects in an expandable tree view.
A text filter entry field is provided to aid you in searching for ZIETrans artifacts. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wild card to represent parts of the resource name. For example, using a filter of *.css or *css returns the same matches.
Note:
1. A wildcard is appended to the end of the text that you enter into the filter field. For example, if you enter *.j in the filter field, an asterisk is appended to the *.j, resulting in a filter of *.j*. This filter would show you all .jsp and .jpg files.
2. Filtering is not case-sensitive.
3. To clear the text in the filter field, click the x beside the filter entry field.
The editor window, which initially contains the ZIETrans Welcome page. You will also use editors in this window to work with ZIETrans resources. Below and to the right of the editor are views that aid in editing resources in the editor.

The Navigator view, provides a hierarchical view of the resources in the workbench including project .ear files and other local artifacts. It also displays closed (or archived) ZIETrans projects that do not display in the ZIETrans Projects view. These closed projects can be re-opened by right-mouse clicking and selecting Open Project.

The first time you start the ZIETrans Toolkit, you will see a ZIETrans tip, welcoming you to ZIETrans and giving pointers about getting started. You can use the check boxes on the tip windows to control which tips you see.

If you start Eclipse and the ZIETrans perspective does not appear, you can open the ZIETrans perspective by clicking Window > Open Perspective > Other and selecting Z and I Emulator for Transformation from the list of available perspectives. If you close or rearrange some of the windows in the ZIETrans perspective, your arrangement is saved when you exit. When you return to ZIETrans Toolkit, it will be restored to your last successfully saved exit configuration. To restore the original ZIETrans windows, click Window > Reset Perspective.
