Eclipse: Project Explorer: "Top level elements to working sets but no workings sets defined"

Version: Mars.1 Release (4.5.1)

Hi,

My Package Manager View is working file. My Project Exlorer View shows nothing but this message:

"Top level elements to working sets but no workings sets defined"

A few weeks ago I made a working set.

I left my Eclipse on over the weekend.

When I came back my Eclipse was displaying only that working set.

Deselecting that working set did not restore the default display.

So, I deleted that working set and now the Project Explorer is empty save for that error message.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Solution

  • Click the small triangle at the top right of the Project Explorer view (the 'view menu').

    Select 'Top Level Elements' and choose 'Projects'

    Note that from Eclipse 2019-12 onwards the 'small triangle' is replaced by three vertical dots (the 'hamburger' menu).
