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".

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 accidentally turned off the Window menu from my Debug perspective; does anyone know how I can turn it back on?
Go to the perspective where you want to re-enable Window Menu. Press Ctrl + 3. Then type Customize Perspective. In the Menu category or in the Command category choose Customize Perspective option.
Then the customize perspective dialog will open. Go to Menu Visibility tab and re-enable Window menu.
I've just updated from Eclipse Juno to Kepler. What happened to the Eclipse perspective layout and how can I restore it to fill the entire window?
Open Windows - Perspective - Other - Select Java (default) and open Windows again and select reset perspective
From the image provided you do indeed have a minimized perspective stack...it's the far right toolbar at the top of the image that has just the icons for the java and debug perspectives. If you click on its 'restore' button the actual perspective will re-appear.
What it looks like is that you have the 'Welcome' (Intro) screen up and maximized (thus the minimized perspective stack). If you were to click the selected item in that top right toolbar the 'fly out' perspective would go away allowing access to the view's restore (un-maximize) button.
Not sure why the Intro's blank though...;-)
You can try press right mouse button in perspective you need reset, after there click in Reset
Windows --> Perspective -->Close All Perspective
and after that restart Eclipse.
I'm trying to hide Eclipse menu bar to save some screen real estate. I found I can do this using perspectives but that would permanently take out the menu from that perspective. The behavior that I want to get is something along of auto-hide, so that the menu remains hidden until I hit ALT+F for example or any other ALT key combo.
Is there's a setting or a plugin that can do this?
Thanks!
This is just a work around. Create two perspectives.
First one named - With Menu.
Second one named - Without Menu.
In the "Without Menu" perspective remove all menu items and Save.
To create the effect of hiding and showing, switch between perspectives by using
Ctrl+F8.
Theres a fast view option- just right click the tab and select Fast View. It'll bring the entire window down to the eclipse taskbar. You can recover the window by just clicking on it's icon.

Have a look here Is there a Macro Recorder for Eclipse? You could set up the macro so respond to ALT+F possibly.
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.
