I accidentally removed the "Create new Class" button in eclipse. How would I get it back onto the top toolbar? I've looked through all the menus and I cant find an option to do it.
Thanks
Just right-click on your perspective (top right corner default) and choose Customize.
There you can select and deselect toolbar icons.
Java Element Creation -> New Java Project/Package/Class

In eclipse 4.4, choose Window->Customize perspective. First tab (Tool Bar Visibility) allows to customize toolbar buttons.

How can I disable the Java editor breadcrumb in Eclipse?
If you are referring to the breadcrumbs in the help file of a RCP application, there is only a manual way to do it.
Since Ganymede 3.4M5:
Michael Borgwardt mentions the toolbar icon
Slava Semushin provides a native shortcut based on Ctrl+3+bread, which points directly to the Toggle Java Editor Breadcrumb option.
Shachi reminds us below that you can right-click on any icon on the breadcrumb, and select the entry named "Hide Breadcrumb".
Original answer (manual way, through key mapping)
Find the file org.eclipse.help.webapp\advanced\breadcrumbs.css and replace its contents with.
.help_breadcrumbs {
display: none;
}
For the Java Editor breadcrumb, you need to assign a shortcut to the "Toggle Java Editor Breadcrumb" command (I have tested Alt+B, for instance)
That shortcut will make the breadcrumb bar appear/disappear at will.
With the editor window focussed, look for this icon in your toolbar:
And click on it. That's all. The icon is present by default, but can be deactivated, in which case you have to activated as in MvanGeest's answer.
Another way which works for me at Eclipse Indigo (3.7): press Ctrl+3 and type bread, after that click on item Toggle Java Editor Breadcrumb.
RightClick on any icon on breadcrumb.
There is an option named HIDE BREADCRUMB.
Click it and you are done. :D
Look for this icon in the toolbar:
This button toggles the Breadcrumb view on/off.
(I'm using Eclipse 3.7, and it's there by default)
Here it is :
In the toolbar, toggle bread crumb option.
Something like http://loadcontext.blogspot.com/2008/08/eclipse-34-breadcrumbs-hide-and-show.html?
Customize Perspective, choose the
Commands tab. In the Available command
group, choose Java Editor
Presentation. The Toolbar details
shows the button for Toggle
Breadcrumbs, which looks like a folder
with a C in a circle with a black
triangle on top of it.
Despite my absolute lack of experience with Eclipse, I suppose this setting must appear in other Presentation items too. After the button's enabled, all you have to do is click it. Or not?
Change property breadcrumb.org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaPerspective from true to false
in your org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs file.
In Juno: type 'Bread' and select 'Toggle Java Editor Breadcrumb'
It very simple just right click in your class editor then select bread crumb or directly right click in top of your class in tool bar then select hide breadcrumb then its done.
When you see the BreadCrumb toolbar, right-click on the green class icon and then from the menu options click on Hide Breadcrumb.
In the Project Explorer view of Eclipse Luna, there's an additional drop down for Java files which represents the class inside the file (the green C icon). It expands when I double click to open a class. I don't need this there. Is there a way to filter this out?
Uncheck Preferences / Java / Appearance / "Show members in Package Explorer" checkbox.
It affect both Package and Project explorer.
Preferences windows with that checkbox
It's possible if you use Package Explorer instead of Project Explorer: go to prefs, Java, Appearance and disable "Show members in Package Explorer".
You can disable various elements in the explorer tree via the View config toolbar button (small white triangle on the toolbar just below the Project Explorer tab); select Customize View... then the Content tab; there you can disable, for example, Java Elements. But doing so will hide all Java-related elements from the Project Explorer tree; if you want that, at that point you should just use the Navigator view instead of Project Explorer. Navigator is just a file-system view of the projects.
There is an option for this. Click to three dots on the right top corner in Project Explorer window, click to "Filters and Customisation", then click to "Content" tab. You will see like that things:
Uncheck "Java Elements" (PHP Elements for Eclipse PDT) then clik to OK button. Then you will see that dropdown triangle shit goes to the hell...
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
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.
