Eclipse : what next when Reset Perspective does nothing?

I tryed to move a perspective (DDMS) to my second monitor. When i've drag/dropped the last window of my perspective to my second screen, then the perspective totally disapeared !

no more windows from the perspective anywhere the tab of the perspective also disapeared.

I click

Window > Show Perspective > Others > DDMS

to force its "focus" then

Window>Reset Perspective

But nothing happens, i've lost DDMS perspective.

What can i do now to restore it?

Bonus Question : can we place a perspective in a second screen?

Solution

  • I finnally found the solution, here what to do: 1)Make sure the perspective is opened

    Window > Show Perspective > YourPerspective

    2)Reset It

    Window > Reset Perspective

    3) Close ALL perspective it doesn't works if you only close the problematic one.

    Window > Close All Perspectives

    4)Reopen the perspective (see step 1). Job Done.
