Drag editors between windows in eclipse - eclipse

I recently updated my eclipse installation to Juno, and I found a important change I'd like to maintain:
In the Indigo version when I have a file opened and drag it tab between eclipse's windows it just moves to the new window. But in Juno version the attempt results in a floating window with the editor of the file just above the target window.
How can I make do this work in Juno? Is there any option for reverting this or I should install the Indigo version?
Thanks

This is a known bug in the current version of Eclipse (4.2 / Juno). The aim is to fix it for the 4.3 milestone, according to the tracker:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=384308
In the meantime, your options are to revert to Indigo, or just open the file manually in the new window via the file tree.

I can't use Ctrl+H to open search dialog in Eclipse

I am using Eclipse Mars version 4.5.2 in that Ctrl+H is not working, am using Linux Centos 7.
I have tried uninstalling the old one and installing new Eclipse Mars and created new workspace, then also I can't use Ctrl+H.
What do I need to do to resolve this?

Installed MacVim, and now Eclipse is opening JSP files in it when i don't want it to

I'm using this version of Eclipse
Version: Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)
Build id: 20160218-0600
on Mac Sierra. I just installed MacVim and now whenever I try and open a JSP file within Eclipse (using Shift ⇧+Command ⌘+R for example), the file is getting opened in MacVim instead of the Eclipse editor. I went to
General -> Editors -> File Assocations
and added "*.jsp", but even after restarting Eclipse, the JSP files still open in MacVim instead of the Eclipse editor.
How can I force my .jsp files to open in the Eclipse editor?
Generally, what you've done it's the right way.
You may have to select the right default to make it work:
Then you can check if the associated editors appear on file open submenu:
As you can see, JBoss Tools JSP Editor is highlighted to represent the default.
If these steps aren't working in your environment, there's probably a sort of settings corruption (experienced very often).
What you can try:
run eclipse -clean -refresh
create a brand new Workspace
make a new and clean eclipse installation
Make sure you have Eclipse WTP installed (or just install it):
P.S. use the update-site for your eclipse version (Mars), I'm on Neon.

PyDev 5.3 and Eclipse Neon 4.6 - pydevd.py loacation (OSx)

I switched from Eclipse Mars to Eclipse Neon today. The Pydev plugin was not installed at the place where it was in Eclipse Mars (/Applications/eclipse/cpp-neon/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins).
Does anyone know where the pydevd.py is located on OsX.
thanks
The easiest way to know where the PyDev debugger is located is by opening a PyDev editor, writing pydevd and requesting a code completion just showing the templates (ctrl space twice)... A template for creating a programmatic breakpoint will be shown (and it adds the debugger to the PYTHONPATH, so you can see where it's located).

Jess Editor Plugin not Appearing in Eclipse Luna

I have the Jess DE installed on an old version of Eclipse (Helios), and when I open any of my Jess files there, they are nicely displayed with appropriate colors, etc. I installed a newer version of Eclipse (Luna) in order to install PyDev, and meanwhile added all the Jess editor plugin files. I added them in exactly the corresponding subfolders as my older version of Eclipse, but have had no luck getting those files to open with the right editor. They'll open, but only as plain text, and trying to do an open with does not show the Jess Editor as an option. I restarted Eclipse a couple of times, but no luck. I also tried to follow these instructions:
"Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration in Eclipse, and enable the JessDE feature"
but that menu doesn't actually seem to appear in Luna. Installation details under the plugins tab also doesn't seem to show the Jess editor.
Any ideas what could be going wrong here? I'd love to have just a single version of Eclipse running on my machine, instead of several...
Thanks!
I have your same problem. In mine Eclipse KEPLER version goes all right, but when I do the SAME installation in LUNA, something goes wrong.
Probably, the last version of JESS (7.1p2) doesn't is compatible with LUNA. I hope not.

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.
