I'm trying to get to project settings to set tabs & cannot find a Preferences or Project Settings area to do so. All AWS instructions to change user settings say "On a menu bar, choose AWS Cloud9, Preferences..." " ...on the Preferences Tab in the side navigation pane". I can find no menu in the dashboard nor IDE for this (only a few areas that say preference but are just for light/dark theme or # of cards visible).
I saw one previous question on here similar to this and as of Feb '20 that user found the project settings in an EC2 settings area- I've tried that but still cannot find project settings or preferences to change my user settings. (If its relevant, I'm using Chrome on a windows 10 machine)
thanks
UPDATE: This is what I see: IDE lacks menu bar/cog with project settings
In the top right corner, you should see a cog in the top right, this is project settings.
In case that happens to anyone else- the solution that worked for me was to create a new environment- The new environment showed up with a menu bar/cog in the top right corner. I deleted the old environment and problem solved (though I have no idea how I got an IDE w/no menu in the first place)

Suddenly my project explorer window has disappeared from Eclipse. I try selecting Windows > Show View > Project Explorer, but nothing happens. What can I do?
Try Window --> Perspective --> Reset Perspective.... Remember that your own settings, if any, will also be reset.
Try to close Eclipse IDE and reopen it and
click on window->show view->project explorer
For me it was like this...
Window->Show View->Other->General->Project Explorer
Or
Window->Open Perspective->Other->Java (default)
Open Eclipse IDE
Enter "Project Explorer" on Quick Access (Search text box).
Either select from drop-down or press Enter
Window -> Perspective -> Reset
Reset the IDE
Window -> Show View -> Project Explorer
Select Window->Show View, if it is not shown there then select other. Under General you can see Project Explorer.
If none of the above solutions work, Try Window-> New Window
I had encountered the same problem as well. The following solution helped me to get over it:
Window -> Show View -> Package Explorer.
You can use the shortcut as well. It's Alt + Shift + Q, P
Using the latest Luna upgrade.
The only solution that worked was Window >> New Window.
It's very easy to lose that critical bar.
If you are on either Eclipse or Spring tool suite then follow the below steps.
(1) Go to 'Window' on the top of the editor. Click on it
(2) Select show view. You should see an option 'Project Explorer'. Click on it.
You should be able to do it.
Close the current perspective:
Reopen it using Window -> Open perspective.
i had also encountered this issue.
.
This Solution worked for me....
windows->navigation->maximize active View or Editor(ctrl + M)
.
in the screen you can see on left side navigation menus ... now click on those buttons one by one ....you will get your solution...
Try changing the perspective to JavaEE and then check.
Not sure if this is problem but, this ticked me off for a while since I did not realize what was happening at first - maybe this will help others.
Its not really a problem, just the way Eclipse works. (I'm use to Visual studio)
Its all about Perspectives!
I set up an (existing) PHP project in eclipse(neon) and then tried to configure and run debug. A Popup "Confirm Perspective Switch" is shown - I selected "Yes", not realizing what it actually does. The "perspective" then changes and you no longer see the project explorer anywhere. You cant "open" the project explorer window from top nav > window > show view, since its no longer there (which is BS, it should show something that gives you indication of current and other "perspectives" - at least for newbie.) No where now does it give project explore options.
Now you must change the "perspective" back from debug to PHP (at least in in my case).
This can be done a couple ways, easiest is from the icons on right top right side side. One icon would be the "bug", and next to it is the PHP icon. Just click the icon "perspective" you want. The other way is from top nav bar > window > Perspective > open Perspective, then select PHP. Could they hide this any deeper?
I know this is likely second nature to those who have used eclipse for a while, but was frustrating to me (on day one) till I figured out what was going on.
Please Select window in tool bar
Move to show view
Select project explorer
applied the same method to reset the perspective, no changes appaired then I restart the Eclipse IDE which was fine then.
Version: Neon.2 Release (4.6.2)
Very straight-forward question - to my surprise I could not find an answer on here, or elsewhere.
This is what I see in my Eclipse IDE:
This is what I have seen until recently (circled in green):
(Yes - this image is not showing package explorer, this is cut from a random internet search pic)
How do I make the Package Explorer collapsible again?
Needing to fully close it for space, and then open it again later is a big pain.
If someone get the same problem, what I know so far is the reset perspective solution...
Window → Perspective -> Reset perspective...
This will save you many hours, believe me!
You can also do the reset, by right click the icon of the perspective type.
Option 1. Using the Window menu.
Option 2. Right click the perspective icon
(You might need to customize your perspective if you configured own settings, the reset perspective does not damage your workspace! See customize perspective to get an idea of what the settings are.)

this is what I`ve done
I clicked on a project with right button and I`ve selected open in new window. I had 2 windows. First I've closed the primary one, then the new one. After that every time when I run eclipse the project that I've selected to open in new window was the default one. My package explorer every time was in it and I had to click back. I just deleted this project and now I can't navigate in package explorer. It is still set to this project but I can't go back. What can I do ? How can I select the basic package explorer view ?
There should be an Up one level or a Back button enabled on the Package explorer view toolbar - I am not talking about the main toolbars similar buttons but one just under the view header. These buttons shall allow you to return to the original level with multiple projects visible.
This is the Up One Level button that Zoltan is referring to:
Symptom:
The package explorer dialog looks as if you have drilled down into an end node but the dialog is blank and there is no "Up One Level"/"Back Button" to click.
Solution:
Ensure eclipse is not running
Delete the following file:
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workbench.xml
Start Eclipse
The workbench.xml file contains settings for the state of the package explorer among other things. I suspect that the package explorer settings get corrupted somehow.
Top right there is ViewMenu option menu (triangle downside oriented) - try some options there, or click project explorer tab(top left) and try refresh etc. It is hard to see what exactly happened to you.
In Eclipse, Window → Reset Perspective...
By default, Eclipse won't show my .htaccess file that I maintain in my project. It just shows an empty folder in the Package Viewer tree. How can I get it to show up? No obvious preferences.
In the package explorer, in the upper right corner of the view, there is a little down arrow. Tool tip will say view menu. From that menu, select filters
From there, uncheck .* resources.
So Package Explorer -> View Menu -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources.
With Eclipse Kepler and OS X this is a bit different:
Package Explorer -> Customize View -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources
For Project Explorer View:
1. Click on arrow(View Menu) in right corner
2. Select Customize View... item from menu
3. Uncheck *.resources checkbox under Filters tab
4. Click OK

Eclipse Juno
Cory is correct
# If you're using Eclipse PDT, this is done by opening up the PHP explorer view
I just spent about half an hour looking for the little arrow, until I actually looked up what the 'PHP Explorer' view is. Here is a screenshot:
I'm using 64 bit Eclipse for PHP Devleopers
Version: Helios Service Release 2
It cam with RSE..
None of the above solutions worked for me... What I did was similar to scubabble's answer, but after clicking the down arrow (view menu) in the top of the RSE package explorer I had to mouseover "Preferences" and click on "Remote Systems"
I then opened the "Remote Systems" nav tree in the left of the preferences window that came u and went to "Files"
Underneath a list of File types is a checkbox that was unchecked: "Show hidden files"
CHECK IT!
1. From Package Explorer open the Filters... dialog:
2. Then uncheck .* resources option:
On Mac:
Eclipse -> Preferences -> Remote Systems -> Files -> click Show Hidden Files.
In your package explorer, pull down the menu and select "Filters ...". You can adjust what types of files are shown/hidden there.
Looking at my Red Hat Developer Studio (approximately Eclipse 3.2), I see that the top item in the list is ".* resources" and it is excluded by default.
Spring Tool Suite 4
Version: 4.9.0.RELEASE
Build Id: 202012132054
For Mac:
In my case, I wanted to see .htaccess files, but not all the other .* resources.
In Zend Studio for Eclipse, in PHP Explorer (not Remote System Explorer), click the downward facing arrow (next to the left/right arrows).
Choose Filters.
Uncheck .* resources
In the "Name filter patterns" area, type the filenames you want to ignore.
I used:
.svn, .cvs, .DS_Store, .buildpath, .project
If using Zend Studio, same arrow, go to RSE view, click on the downward facing arrow, hit preferences, and then check show hidden files.
That did the trick for me.
If you're using Eclipse PDT, this is done by opening up the PHP explorer view, then clicking the upside-down triangle in the top-right of that window. A context window appears, and the filters option is available there. Clicking the Filters menu option opens a new window, where .* files can be unchecked, thus allowing the editing of .htaccess files.
I searched forever for this, so I'm sorta answering my own question here. I'm sure someone else will have the same problem too, so I hope this helps someone else as well.
Eclipse shows hidden files in the "Navigator" view. You can add that via Window->Show View->Navigator.
Preferences -> Remote Systems -> Files -> Show hidden files
(make sure this is checked)
