I'm using Eclipse IDE and notice an option in the Debug perspective in the Breakpoints view that allows me to chose/create a working set. I've found all kinds of help online that tells me how to make a working set or choose a working set, but nothing that explains what a working set is or why I'd want to use one.

Debugging is the process of identifying and fixing any issues in the source code of a program. Modern IDEs like Eclipse provide debugging tools that make it easier for developers to walk through their code interactively and inspect it to spot and resolve any issues.
A Working Set is a subset of your Eclipse projects. You can create different Working Sets and then select which Working Set to display in the Navigator view. Specifically: "Working set" (in this particular context), is an "Eclipse thing" The purpose of Eclipse working sets is to help organize your projects.
If Eclipse does not automatically switch to the Debug perspective, you can locate it manually in the Window entry on the menu bar or by clicking the Choose Perspective button (a button with a plus on it) in the upper right corner of the Eclipse window under the menu bar line.
A working set is a subset of other objects. You can create a breakpoint working set that contains only some of your breakpoints, or a project working set that contains only part of your project, and so on. You would use working sets to let you easily switch back and forth between different parts of a project or workspace.
