Disable Automatic Perspective Change in Eclipse

Question

I use Eclipse for coding, but I have a problem. When I debug a C++ project, Eclipse automatic switches to the Debug perspective, but I don't want the automatic switch. How can I disable the automatic switching?

The accepted answer did not work for me debugging Java on Eclipse Juno SR1, but this did:

Window | Preferences... menu item
Choose Run/Debug on the left, about half-way down.
Choose Perspectives under that
Select Never at Open the associated perspective when launching and Open the associated perspective when an application suspends

I was looking for enabling the automatic perspective change when starting debug in CDT. Choosing "Always" in both selection boxes worked. But when finishing debug it does not return to C/C++ perspective. – sancho.s ReinstateMonicaCellio Nov 25 '16 at 18:49
