The Eclipse UI consists of multiple views, which are the rectangular areas that display content such as the Outline, Console, or Package Explorer. In Eclipse 3.x, views are created by adding an extension point to an existing plug-in, or by using a template. A
clock.ui
plug-in will be created to host the clock widgets and views.
