Editors
The main area of the Actian DataConnect window displays the editor for the artifact that you have opened. For example, a map file opens in the Map Editor and a process file opens in the Process Editor. Click the editor tabs to switch between artifacts. For most file types, double-clicking the artifact in Project Explorer opens the artifact in the appropriate editor. If you want to manually choose an editor (for example, viewing an XML file using a text editor), right-click on the artifact and select Open With to view a list of available editors.
The following editors are available:
Menu

For information about the artifacts and the associated editors, see Integration Artifacts and Editors.
Note:  If you have opened the Welcome window and you click the Restore icon in the top-right corner of the window, Eclipse restores the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and moves the Welcome window to its own view window. It means that you can start working in an editor. You can keep the Welcome window open (if you want to have actual help content at the same time as you are designing maps and processes) or you can click on the x to close the window.
