Hey everyone,
Quick question -- We are using Websphere Studio 5.1 (built on eclipse). Anyone know of a way to prevent a user (ie, bad programmer) from seeing some of the perspectives (such as data) which they could mess up things? I saw that different versions of the product have additional Perspectives, but i'd like to limit it even further than what Site Developer allows.

The perspectives are not the problem, as you can open any view in any perspective. At least that's the case in Eclipse...

Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

You could hack the plugin.xml files of the plug-ins that define the "offending" view or perspective (i.e., the extension of extension points org.eclipse.ui.views and org.eclipse.ui.perspectives), not that I recommend it.
Wouldn't it be better to train your programmers how not to "hurt themselves"?
