I'm having an issue with the debug toolbar disappearing from the global toolbar in the debug perspective in eclipse. Here is what I want:
but here is what I get:
You can see the toolbar is available in the debug view, but when I load the type heirarchy it is not accessible, or if I close that view, or move it around the toolbar moves with it.
I can enable the toolbar once by customizing the perspective and enabling it in action set visibility:
but when I close the perspective and reload it goes away again, even if I save the perspective.
basically I'm trying to do the opposite of this question
PyDev was accountable for this happening to me. For me the only solution was to uninstall the plugin (keeping a separate installation of eclipse for that for now). See the bugreport here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=491553

I am using Eclipse Oxygen (Ver 4.7.0) on CentOS with the UI shown via MobaXterm's X Windows server on Windows 7.
In Eclipse I have the weird problem that when I right-click on an editor tab the tab closes immediately! No context menu, nothing, just the tab vanishes. I would like to disable this, but I couldn't find any entry for right-clicking in the Keys section of the Preferences.
Is there another place where the right-click behaviour is set? Or how else can I disable this? The problem occurs only for editor tabs.
Additional details:
The right-click behaves correctly inside an editor tab by bringing up the context menu. This shows that the right-click is not genearlly broken in the X Window system.
The right-click behaves correctly in other X applications like PyCharm.
An explanation
A closer look revealed that Eclipse does show the context menu on right-click press-down, but on right-click release-up it registers a left-click event.
Due to the particular situation of when the context menu was drawn, the mouse pointer than just always happens to sit over the top entry in the menu. And this top entry is Close. The following screenshot might illustrate this a bit (unfortunately without the mouse pointer):
Solution
The immediate solution for me is to move the mouse after pressing the right mouse button and before releasing it.
Still I don't know why this happens only when right-clicking a tab and only for me - and probably not for many other people...
I just got Eclipse Kepler a couple of days ago - pretty nice! Unfortunately the Debug view gets focused while encountering a break point in full screen mode. Afterwards I need to click somewhere to make it disappear.
I made a screen shot:
Can this be customized? I wasn't able to find anything in the preferences. I also had the same issue with the Console view but these two nice buttons made it work.
Thank you!
Yes, you can disable using a setting, from eclipse Window-> Preferences -> Run/Debug -> uncheck Activate the debug view when a breakpoint is hit.
When I work with eclipse, I like to have my Java editor maximized, and all other views minimized in the trim stack (the area around the edges of the window). This way, I can expand the view only when I need it, by clicking on the view icon.
In previous Eclipse versions, when I finished working with a view, I clicked on another view or the editor so that it lost focus, and that caused it to minimize again. In Juno, it doesn't work - when I click on the editor, the view stays open and is hiding my code. In order to close it, I have to either click the view icon, or click on another program and then return to Eclipse.
Do you have any idea if there is a setting I can change to get the old behavior back?
Thanks!
Edit: Seems like a bug in eclipse.
I am unable to reproduce this problem using Juno SR1. Bug 371598 was fixed and looks like the same problem.
I am using Eclipse Juno. I was working in Java perspective and suddenly I minimized the console. I don't know where it went but I am unable to get it back. I even tried to get it from Windows>Show View>Console but I didn't get my console back.
It happened the same thing to me. Just click Window->Reset Perspective and everything will be back as it was when you installed eclipse.
Sure you'll have to customize it back to how you like it, but at least you'll have the console back.
If console is not visible, just search for "Console" in QuickAccess box on the right hand top of menu bar. you can get it back!
Stupid Eclipse. Are there no interface designers volunteering on this project? Why minimize something and make it hard to see where to bring it back? Probably all you have to do is hit Shift-Control-Tab-F9 with one hand while right-double-clicking the lower left hand corner. Hmm, how about a popup when you click a minimized Console that says "We see you've minimized your Console and you are clearly trying to switch to it. Would you like us to restore that so you can actually see it?" followed by "Are you really sure? Cuz ya know, you may be using this click path by accident."
The reset perspective works. Also, you can "Save Perspective" so it's not so hard to go back to your preferred Perspective.
Thanks for the tip.
Bring console to the front from Window -> Show View -> Console. Apparently the console remains invisible (that was the issue indeed), but it is virtually active in the foreground.
Close the current view (i.e. the invisible console) by going to the "Quick Access" box at the toolbar, typing "Close Part", and selecting the respective option on the drop-down.
Reopen console form Window -> Show View -> Console and voilà, it will appear. Drag it to your preferred location on the workbench.
This works for me under the following situation:
I had been previously playing with detaching several views (console included) and editors to a separate window on a different monitor; I have updated my workspace from Neon to Oxygen and I have had a hard reset at my computer. (So, not sure which among those was the reason that made it go wrong).
I wanted to avoid resetting my perspective, as it is highly customised, so I discarded that solution.
Other solutions herein proposed had not worked.
The console was working and the view became visible if I chose a different perspective (e.g. Debug) or a duplicate Eclipse window (which effectively provides a duplicate of a factory-reset perspective).
you could click the small icon on the bottom left and choose console. it will appear.
Version: Eclipse 4.2 Codename: Juno
I don't see a fast view bar in eclipse 4.2. I can't rightclick on a view and enable fast view. The fast view options under General -> Perspectives does nothing.
Was the fast view feature removed or am I missing something?
I've looked up at http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-9b.htm , but that didn't help either.
The single Fast view bar has been replaced by minimized stacks. Now you simply drag your views into one stack and then minimize it.
I have created a request to get back the original behavior (from platform 3.x):
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385105
Vote for it if you are equally interested.
It is bit tricky read the documentation properly search for fast view bar in the eclipse documentation. in General -> Perspective area set the radio button to fast view and enable hide empty fast view bar. after opening the navigator minimize the navigator now reopen the navigator and click esc it should be working..
If you are missing the views previous located in the fast view?
Use the "Quick Access" search field to find the views.
(located in the top bar to the left of perspective views: Java, Debug etc.)
To view all, click spacebar.
Just open a New Window: main menu | Window | New Window
The Perspective switching bar will be recovered for the new window and you can close the original window.
