Eclipse Juno Perspective tool bar

While dragging the perspective tool bar to a different place in eclipse Juno, my eclipse got hang, and after restarting eclipse, the perspective bar gone.

I tried googling but didnt find a solution to display that bar again. Anyone got a solution?

Solution

  • There are two things you can try:

    1. Reset your current perspective (Window/Reset perspective...). Although your configured set of views will get lost, it might bring back the perspective switcher.
    2. If that does not work, then you should reset the entire saved workbench GUI. This can be done by deleting the .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi file from your workspace folder, or by starting eclipse with the -clearPersistedState

    Point 2. assumes, that in case of Juno you are using Eclipse 4.2 (the new GUI, not 3.8, the old).
