this is what I`ve done
I clicked on a project with right button and I`ve selected open in new window. I had 2 windows. First I've closed the primary one, then the new one. After that every time when I run eclipse the project that I've selected to open in new window was the default one. My package explorer every time was in it and I had to click back. I just deleted this project and now I can't navigate in package explorer. It is still set to this project but I can't go back. What can I do ? How can I select the basic package explorer view ?
There should be an Up one level or a Back button enabled on the Package explorer view toolbar - I am not talking about the main toolbars similar buttons but one just under the view header. These buttons shall allow you to return to the original level with multiple projects visible.
This is the Up One Level button that Zoltan is referring to:
Symptom:
The package explorer dialog looks as if you have drilled down into an end node but the dialog is blank and there is no "Up One Level"/"Back Button" to click.
Solution:
Ensure eclipse is not running
Delete the following file:
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workbench.xml
Start Eclipse
The workbench.xml file contains settings for the state of the package explorer among other things. I suspect that the package explorer settings get corrupted somehow.
Top right there is ViewMenu option menu (triangle downside oriented) - try some options there, or click project explorer tab(top left) and try refresh etc. It is hard to see what exactly happened to you.
In Eclipse, Window → Reset Perspective...

Suddenly my project explorer window has disappeared from Eclipse. I try selecting Windows > Show View > Project Explorer, but nothing happens. What can I do?
Try Window --> Perspective --> Reset Perspective.... Remember that your own settings, if any, will also be reset.
Try to close Eclipse IDE and reopen it and
click on window->show view->project explorer
For me it was like this...
Window->Show View->Other->General->Project Explorer
Or
Window->Open Perspective->Other->Java (default)
Open Eclipse IDE
Enter "Project Explorer" on Quick Access (Search text box).
Either select from drop-down or press Enter
Window -> Perspective -> Reset
Reset the IDE
Window -> Show View -> Project Explorer
Select Window->Show View, if it is not shown there then select other. Under General you can see Project Explorer.
If none of the above solutions work, Try Window-> New Window
I had encountered the same problem as well. The following solution helped me to get over it:
Window -> Show View -> Package Explorer.
You can use the shortcut as well. It's Alt + Shift + Q, P
Using the latest Luna upgrade.
The only solution that worked was Window >> New Window.
It's very easy to lose that critical bar.
If you are on either Eclipse or Spring tool suite then follow the below steps.
(1) Go to 'Window' on the top of the editor. Click on it
(2) Select show view. You should see an option 'Project Explorer'. Click on it.
You should be able to do it.
Close the current perspective:
Reopen it using Window -> Open perspective.
i had also encountered this issue.
.
This Solution worked for me....
windows->navigation->maximize active View or Editor(ctrl + M)
.
in the screen you can see on left side navigation menus ... now click on those buttons one by one ....you will get your solution...
Try changing the perspective to JavaEE and then check.
Not sure if this is problem but, this ticked me off for a while since I did not realize what was happening at first - maybe this will help others.
Its not really a problem, just the way Eclipse works. (I'm use to Visual studio)
Its all about Perspectives!
I set up an (existing) PHP project in eclipse(neon) and then tried to configure and run debug. A Popup "Confirm Perspective Switch" is shown - I selected "Yes", not realizing what it actually does. The "perspective" then changes and you no longer see the project explorer anywhere. You cant "open" the project explorer window from top nav > window > show view, since its no longer there (which is BS, it should show something that gives you indication of current and other "perspectives" - at least for newbie.) No where now does it give project explore options.
Now you must change the "perspective" back from debug to PHP (at least in in my case).
This can be done a couple ways, easiest is from the icons on right top right side side. One icon would be the "bug", and next to it is the PHP icon. Just click the icon "perspective" you want. The other way is from top nav bar > window > Perspective > open Perspective, then select PHP. Could they hide this any deeper?
I know this is likely second nature to those who have used eclipse for a while, but was frustrating to me (on day one) till I figured out what was going on.
Please Select window in tool bar
Move to show view
Select project explorer
applied the same method to reset the perspective, no changes appaired then I restart the Eclipse IDE which was fine then.
Netbeans is not showing source tab, please help.
I had the same problem and I had to delete the Netbeans Cache and User Directory. Once I did it worked fine.
you will find the cach in the path: C:\Users"user_name"\AppData\Roaming\Netbeans
delete all files in this folder
It may be that for some reason the layout changed. I am not very familiar with NetBeans but I presume that there is an option to reset the layout under
Window -> Reset Windows
Hope this helps!
As of now you are viewing Project view. You have to click on Files then you will be able to see what you want to see. :)
or still not visible follow following steps :
User selects main menu Window.
User clicks menu item Reset Windows and all views are reset to their defaults.
Choose from IDE menu bar, Next to FILE---EDIT--VIEW---and then go to View option-- select show editor option
show "Editor Tool bar"(put tick mark to select)
Due to some reason I found, when displaying the source ,my navigator changed from the right side (preferred) to the left side , which need more clicks to access the source file. I remembered that I did accept some chance unconsciously which result in this unpleasant change but can not find a way go back...
Thanks for your help!
Your best friend in eclipse is CTRL+3 (quick access), press that and then search for what you want, try perspectives and views, see below.
Perspectives
Check what perspective you are in (now). In the top right of eclipse there is a list of perspectives. Sometimes when you carry out an action it asks you if you want to change perspectives. This can change your views/layouts. You might want the Java or Java EE perspective.
views
There are multiple views of your files. What is the name of the tab where ComputeBench is showing up? Try opening the "Project Explorer" or the "Package Explorer" views.

In Netbeans, to the top left of where the code is, there used to be two panels, one called 'Projects' where you could click a project name to open a tree of all the directories and files in it, and you could double click a file to edit it.
Below it is the navigation panel which shows the class names, methods, etc contained in the file you're viewing.
I accidently clicked the close button on the projects panel and can't figure out how to get it to open again, any ideas?
In Netbeans 6.8 on Windows, going to Window -> Projects brings it back for me. CTRL + 1 works as the shortcut.
Click Window > Reset Windows will give you back the old state of all windows!
just go to Window in menu bar and select Projects
Window -> Projects
In NetBeans 8.2 Go to Window->Navigator in menu bar or press Ctrl+7 and select Projects
it will open a folder as work space .
