Hi @jennayqq 

If you're unable to see the AEM perspective under Window > Perspective in Eclipse, it typically indicates an issue with either the AEM plugin installation or workspace configuration. Here are steps to resolve it:

Steps to Fix:

  1. Check AEM Plugin Installation: Ensure that the AEM Developer Tools (or AEM plugin for Eclipse) is correctly installed. If you haven't installed it yet, follow these steps:

    • Go to Help > Eclipse Marketplace.
    • Search for "AEM" or "Adobe Experience Manager" and install the AEM Developer Tools.
    • Restart Eclipse after installation.

  2. Switch Perspective: After installing the AEM plugin, if the perspective is still not visible:

    • Try going to Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other.
    • In the dialog that opens, search for AEM or Adobe Experience Manager.
    • Select it and click OK.

  3. Reset Perspective: Sometimes, Eclipse's perspective configuration might be corrupted. Reset it by:

    • Going to Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective.
    • Choose AEM Perspective (if visible) and reset it.

  4. Check the Workspace: Sometimes, the workspace can have issues with the perspective configuration. You can create a new workspace and test the perspective there:

    • Go to File > Switch Workspace > Other...
    • Select a new workspace and restart Eclipse.

  5. Check Eclipse Version: Ensure you're using a compatible version of Eclipse for the AEM plugin. Some versions of Eclipse may not be compatible with certain versions of the AEM plugin. Check Adobe documentation for compatibility.

  6. Reinstall AEM Plugin: If the perspective is still missing, you may want to reinstall the AEM plugin:

    • Uninstall the current plugin via Help > Eclipse Marketplace > Installed.
    • Reinstall it and restart Eclipse.

In Summary:

  • Ensure the AEM plugin is installed via Eclipse Marketplace.
  • Try opening the AEM perspective under Window > Perspective > Other.
  • Reset the perspective if needed, or try with a new workspace.

It seems to me, that the link for installing new plugins in that lesson (Back-end Developer Workshop/Configuring Your Development Environment)

http://apache.mirrors.lucidnetworks.net/sling/eclipse

is not very useful. It does not contain AEM Developer Tools, just only Sling IDE Tools! You need to install AEM Developer Tools from somewhere else.

I suppose it would be better to use the following link

https://eclipse.adobe.com/aem/dev-tools/

Sincerely,

Misha
