Missing parts of Help Menu - Eclipse Luna - eclipse

I'm working in Eclipse Luna, after install Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) Help Menu shows with missing items. I'm attaching a screenshot
Missing items:
Also, I checked the Menu Visibility:
Check for updates
Install New Software..
Installation Details
and So on..
Any ideas?

Look in 'Window > Customize Perspective'. Select the 'Menu Visibility' tab and open the 'Help' section. You should be able to enable the missing menu items there.

I faced the same issue after updating STS based on Luna with OEPE,
It works back after deleting all Oracle related files from the plugins folder.
Then i did proper uninstall from market place.
Install Back OEPE but with only selecting
Oracle Java EE tool
Oracle Weblogic Server Tools
unchecked every thing else, this worked for me.

EDIT: ok, i've found the solution, first uninstall eclipse (in arch that would be pacman -Rcns eclipse) then head to ~/.eclipse/ you'll see that it kept gtk setting of previous version of eclipse delete all of it, then install eclipse again.

this isn't an answer but since my reputation is < 50, i'll post here
i have similar problem with Gere, i'm running manjaro linux, and eclipse luna 4.4.1.1 and while in Gere case the option is shown in Windows/Menu Visibility in my case it only shows
1. Welcome
2. Help Contents
3. Search
4. Dynamic Help
5. Tips and Tricks ...
6. About Eclipse
this is exactly the same as shown in Help menu
there are no option for update, nor to install new software
so apparently the problem wasnt in menu visibility as previously in kepler it was ok, the problem only occured after updating to luna, and removing+installing doesnt help

I had the very same problem with Eclipse Luna on my Debian.
I did a "mv ~/.eclipse ~/.eclipse-old" (for safety :) ), restart Eclipse and get the "install new software" menu back.
I then remove the ~/.eclipse-old directory

I had similar issue Gere. I went to eclipse/plugins folder, search everything with "oracle" and deleted them. Once I did that I restarted the Eclipse and voila I got back my eclipse. I hope this helps.

FindBugs Does Not Show Up in Project Properties

I had just installed FindBugs plugin for Eclipse. My Eclipse is Juno. I am using Windows 7.
It shows up at Help -> about Eclipse -> Installed Software as FindBugs Feature
However it does not exist on Project Properties.
I had tried to run eclipse as Administrator, installing from either marketplace or manual.
But no luck.
I use a copied Eclipse (without installation) at Desktop.
Any thought on how to shows the FindBugs in project properties?
Thanks
Just in case you haven't figured out yet, and so it might help others like me.
If you are installing a version of Eclipse FindBugs 3.0 or greater, then it's only supported on Java 7.
Update your JDK to 7.0 and you will see Findbugs show up as a part of your properties. Wasted a lot of hours on this one.
I had same problem. I am using Kepler + windows 7 + jdk1.5. This got resolved with jdk update from 1.5 to 1.7.
May be it has dependency on 1.7 but there was no error message and like you said it was not visible in preference.
Check out this tutorial:
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Findbugs/article.html
I am using Eclipse Kepler in Windows 7, but it shouldn't make any difference.
There is also a FindBugs entry in context menu (right click project, under Import and Export options, in my case)
Edit your eclipse.ini file (you can find it in your eclipse installation folder) and change or add (if it does not exist) the -vm parameter value to a Java 7 JDK. More info here.
All other answers (installing latest Java, Eclipse update, adding '-vm ...' to the .ini-file did not work for me.
I solved it by clicking "Window"->"Perspective"->"Open Perspective"->"Other..."->"FindBugs".
Then switch back to 'Java'-perspective. Now the menu is available when you right-click the project.

Eclipse Indigo "Install new Software" has "Next" button disabled in Ubuntu 10.04.4

I just downloaded the Eclipse Java EE IDE (64-bit) for Ubuntu 10.04.4. I was trying to install some plug-ins by using Help --> Install New Software. But when I select any site in the consequently appearing dialog-box, the "Next" button is not enabled.
I tried un-installing and re-installing eclipse, getting the tar file of eclipse, even the classic IDE of eclipse, running eclipse as root and nothing seems to work.
Can somebody tell me what's wrong?
P.S. I am attaching a screenshot of the problem
It looks like the install dialog got squeshed vertically. There should be a big table of stuff to install. Try making the dialog bigger.
Click on already installed link and see if the plugin is already installed. Uninstall it -> Restart -> Repeat -> Next button should be enabled

Eclipse Juno cannot make new project after update

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and to install Eclipse Juno I downloaded it from the official site (I don't use apt-get nor software center)
After updating it from help > check for updates menu, my Eclipse cannot make new project. When I hover File > New, there isn't any menu to select (as the usual Java Project, C++ Project etc.), only an unselectable text like this:
< No Applicable Items >
Anyone know what causes this?
nitind's answer above helped solve my problem. I was using eclipse java ide juno on windows and i could not see any items under File -> New or under Window -> Show View. I noticed eclipse had defaulted to using the Java-EE perspective. Following nitind's suggestion I changed it to the Java perspective and can now see all the menu items. thank you!
I had the same error when i first started the program, but i looked into it, and I saw that the workspace already had .cpp and compiled files in it which i had compiled earlier with a different program. To fix the error, I just changed the workspace to the default, and it worked fine.
I was using eclipse CDT Kepler with java 1.6.0_27. I then tried it with java 1.7.0_25 and eclipse Juno and this method resolved the error in any of these instances.
Try using the default workspace and it should work.

How to uninstall the sysdeo plugin

Had some strange errors, described here: lost in deployment: session.getAttribute() returns NULL in some Tomcat configurations and been advised to remove the SysDeo plugin.
Googled on how to remove plugins in Eclipse 3.6, found the plugin in Eclipse Installation Details, still looking for some "uninstall/remove" button. Or should I just remove the files from some of the eclipse sub-folders (contrary to what is written in Eclipse tutorials) and it'll work?
Thanks!
Help->About>Installation details->Installed software tab
Click on the software that you want to unistall and the "uninstall" button becames enabled. Click that button to uninstall the software.
EDIT: In your comment you say that you installed the plugin by dropping it in the "dropins" folder. Well, according to this, the way to uninstall it would be to just delete it from the "dropins" folder and restart Eclipse.

Eclipse failed to response under Fedora 12

i tried fedora12 yesterday, but i find eclipse doesn't work. at first i thought this problem is related to SELinux, but after i turn off selinux, i still can't
create a project, i press the "next" or "finish" button, there is no response. well the "cancel" button works. there is no error popup, or error logs.
i tried eclipse -debug -console; but there is no log output when i click the button. it is so weird, is this happened to anyone before?
environment: fedora12, JDK 1.6.0_17, eclipse Galileo.
computer: t400.
This is a bug due to a change introduced in GTK 2.18, see Bug 291257. The current workaround is to export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true before to run Eclipse. I actually use the following startup script:
#!/bin/sh
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla/
export ECLIPSE_HOME=/opt/IBM/eclipse
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*
I can't install plugins from update sites, either.
In a blank eclipse install, adding a new update site (es: jboss tools) using the keyboard works; also, it's possible to select a release to install from the available software list.
The new plugin gets installed, but won't appear in perspectives (es: jboss devel) after restart.
After that, adding new update sites and trying to install their releases won't work, the available software list remains empty.
Using Fedora 12 Eclipse 3.5..
By the way, "Fedora Eclipse" rpm is screwed at the moment, it won't install a single file
SOLUTION:
Eclipse 3.6 fix those problems http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
Just add helios update site
There seems to be an incompatability with gtk/gdk shipped with F12. You can tell eclipse to use the native GDK and it should correct these problems:
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 ./eclipse
You can also add -DGDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 to your eclipse.ini file. That should help if you switch workspaces.
it's a bug, the keyboard works. try it.
