UI Walkthrough JavaEE Perspective
Current situation:
Initial proposal that triggered the discussion:
- add Mylyn's Task List view
- replace the Problem and Tasks view with the new Markers view
In addition to the above, move the Servers view from the bottom docking to the left-bottom docking.
- this makes possible to look at Servers and Console view in one and the same time.
- you also have both projects and servers on one and the same side of the workbench.
- this requires changes in the Servers view to have vertical orientation. See bug 247934.
Further evolution on the above:
- Dock the Snippets view, which has a natural vertical orientation, next to the Outline view.
- Dock the Data Source Explorer view, which has a natural vertical orientation, next to the Servers view.
- Dock the Mylyn's Task Lists view next to the Project Explorer view.

An alternative approach suggested was to make use of Fast views:
