What happened to the package explorer in Eclipse?


I have recently been setting up SVN in Eclipse using the Subversive plugin (I am still a bit lost, but that's another issue).

I have been using this guide (http://soledadpenades.com/2008/12/10/add-svn-support-to-your-eclipse-installation/) and finally got it working! The only problem now is, I can't seem to find the Package Explorer, which is the only explorer I could ever seem to get working how I wanted it to (grouping projects into working sets).

Normally, you get it from going to WindowShow ViewOther, and then select it from the list. The only thing is, it's not IN the list of views... leaving me rather confused.

Just to be clear, I was using the package explorer before with no problems. I am running the latest version of everything as I did the auto update.

Any suggestions as to what is wrong here?


Solution

  • Three answerers were helpful, however the only cure was to reinstall Eclipse and install the plugins again. Weird problem, and the exact cause not found. I may have deleted some files somehow, but a reinstall solved it.
