Eclipse perspective customisation

Is it possible for me to change the NaturalOne perspective to more closely mirror the way I am used to working in mainframe Natural.

I would like to create a context menu option where I can build and execute with one option. Even better, I would like to set a PF-KEY or “hotkey” that would do this (for example control-t in Natural Studio).

The reason is that the way I develop programs is to do a lot of incremental changes and testing. I add some code and test and do this until the program is done. I test continually as I code. In MF Natural, this approach is quick and easy and intuitive.

When the program has not been changed:

  • Right click on the program and select NaturalONE and Execute

Perform the following steps after editing a Natural program:

  1. type S to save the current editor content to the workspace
  2. Click on the Build project icon in the Navigator window (the build project checks for whether dependent objects were changed as well)
  3. Right click on the program and select NaturalONE and Execute

I don’t know whether or how the above steps can be automated via a macro.
Hopefully some other user can provide input here.
