Eclipse Luna Help says to "unlock the toolbar by right clicking the toolbar and selecting the Lock the Toolbars menu item." However, when I right click the toolbar, no options at all are displayed. Any ideas how to proceed?
Sometimes the 'Theme' and 'Color and Font theme' are not selected in Window - Preferences - General - Appearance. See the print:
After selecting them and restarted Eclipse, The toolbars are unlocked.
Not really sure why it doesn't show up in the right click menu as the documentation suggests, but you can access the Lock the Toolbars command from quick access menu (CTRL+3).
However that doesn't seem to have any effect and there is and open bug report for that, so this functionality is probably currently broken.

I've accidently hidden the "Window" menu option in the menu bar in Eclipse. I cannot unhide it the same way I hid it (Window - Customize perspective - Menu visibility) because "Window" is hidden...
Is there some other way to reach hidden options, or a way to reset the perspective? Or must I reinstall Eclipse now. (And yes, I feel like a blockhead now)
Hì, I had a same problem. Simple, you can reset perspective by right-click on your perspective, then select "Reset".
I have a strange problem with my eclipse and my toolbar. Straight forward, the toolbar with the play button is hidden.
According to google it should be a "show toolbar" option under the Window menu, but it is not there.
Anyone know how to get my toolbar back?
It's hidden under Window->Customize Perspective (Eclipse Juno). There you can tick the category "launch" and it's sub-entries to get you button back.
it is Window menu->show view
or Window->Customize Perspective
you will find your toolbar options there
Maybe updating or downloading the latest version can fix your problem
When I open linux eclipse IDE from windows using xterm(Reflection, MobaXterm), I found few problems:
When I right-click on a project, the menu appears for a millisecond, and disappears with a click action on about.
Sometimes the menu appears on right click, but if that menu has more items, usually it should scroll down/up, but the scroll button staying behind windows tast bar.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance!
I have the same issue too. It seems that the right-click menu disapears behind the Eclipse main window and behind the Windows taskbar...
Here is the workaround I use currently: in MobaXterm 5.0, just go to "settings" --> "X11" and choose "Windowed mode with Fvwm": this will open an X11 window.
When you run Eclipse using this tip, it correctly displays the right-click menu.
I hope this helps!
I googled but didn't find a solution.
For the first one, you can right click and hold it, move the mouse to the target menu entry, then release it.
In this way you can avoid a wrong click.
I am sorry in advance for the stupid question but I am not a Mac user. For some reason the toolbar (which contains icons like run, debug ....) are gone. Usually there is a button on the top upper right of the window to restore it but for Eclipse it is not there. Can anyone help?
It was hidden by right-clicking toolbar and selecting "Hide Toolbar". Go to Window > Show Toolbar.
On a Mac it is
Window -> Show Toolbar.
Eclipse has a context menu item to hide the entire toolbar of RCP.
Where is the corresponding menu item to show the hidden toolbar?
I know it should be shown if using a new workspace. However I hope find the related feature in the GUI of eclipse.
Use the Window menu, you have a "Show toolbar" option there.
I'm on Mac OS X, and one thing I always forget about is the stupid lozenge button in the upper right corner of the window. I hit this by accident and was going nuts trying to figure out where my toolbar had gone until I (experimentally) hit it again.
I tried one solution here and worked for me. If you can not reset or change something from eclipse GUI, Go to your project folder eg. "Workspace". Delete folder ".metadata". Now open eclipse again and browse "Workspace". Import your projects from the "Workspace". It will reset eclipse to default.
In eclipse oxygen version it is available under
Windows --> Appearance --> Show Toolbar
