In Package Explorer I right-clicked on project and selected "Open in New Window". New Eclipse window was opened with that project. Then I closed old, "main" Eclipse window, so only new "project" window remained.
Now each time I launch Eclipse I have this "project" window with project name in window title and Package Explorer drilled down into this project. And I need to press "Up" button in Package Explorer to see all my projects.
How can I restore default behaviour and launch Eclipse with workspace scope and not project?
My original answer: Once you get the Package Explorer the way you want it, if you exit Eclipse cleanly it should come back that way.
My revised answer: It looks like a bug, even if you exit cleanly it comes back inside of the project. And in fact when you create a new window no matter what it puts you into the project. Even if you switch to the project explorer.
I found a way to fix it though, do a Window -> Close All Perspectives, then open the Java perspective and exit and come back in and you should be OK. I have filed this bug about it.
Close the project properly " File --> Close All", Then restart eclipse.
OR you can create a new work space " File --> Switch Workspace --> Other..."
Im not sure this is what you are looking for but the Documentation offers a command line option to select the start workspace:
The workspace is the physical location (file path) you are working in.
You can choose the workspace during startup of Eclipse or via the menu
( File → Switch Workspace → Others.

I just installed Eclipse on a computer and it has been working fine for the past few days. However it suddenly stopped working this morning.
When I double click a file in the File Explorer to open it, nothing happens - a new tab is opened, but the tab has no title, just a button to close the tab. The "contents" of the tab is just a light blue screen, with no text.
I have tried the following procedures, with no success:
Right click > Open with > various Eclipse editor
Reset perspective (I am in Java EE perspective)
Change perspective to Java
Opening different file formats (.java, .properties, .xml, etc)
F3 and Ctrl-Shift-T
Creating a new project and opening a file from there
Restarting, cleaning workspace
When I open a different workspace, the files open as usual, but I still want to use my old workspace.
I am using Eclipse JEE Oxygen.
Doing a re-install fixed the problem.
Try to create a new workspace and put all your projects there from the old one.
If it does not work, it's likely that there is an error in one of the projects, try to find it, delete the project from the new workspace 1 and try to open the file, repeat it until the file opens, if you make a mistake in 1 of the projects, then you can create new classes. and copy there codes from the old ones.
P. S. If nothing works, you can download INTELIJ and open your workspace there (generally Intelij is more comfortable than Eclipse in my opinion)
When opening Eclipse the project version is not the current one(it automatically opens the very beginning version of the project, not the current files on my drive).
I tried modifying the refresh settings in Preferences->Workspace, no luck. Also, when I right click->Refresh the project nothing happens.
I am using the last version of Eclipse Luna and the PyDev perspective.
have you tried go File then Switch Workspace e selected the right one? (even if ther is only one)
Some time it happend to me, maybe when i have eclipse opened and i click again on the eclipse startup app it ask me "load new workspace..." and it messup all
Try to look that its clearly the Workspace you would to use.
Do you have different Workspaces?
Try to check the location of the project.
Right-click on the project in Package Explorer and select "Properties"
Select "Resources" on right side and check the location.
If the location is wrong, try to import the right one using method as follows:
Right-click in Package Explorer and select "Import"
Select General->Existing Projects into Workspace and import the project.
We recently upgraded our copies of Sublime. Problem is now our developers that use eclipse are having trouble opening java files. It seems that Eclipse has for one reason or another decided that half of the java files should be opened with "Java Editor" (when you right click and go to Open With) and the other half should open in "System Default" which as it turns out, is Sublime.
Where is the button I press to reset this stupid thing so Eclipse will open java files in Eclipse?
Eclipse "remembers" when files were "Open with"-ed with a certain Viewer and opens that file always with that Viewer from than on (it gets highlighted in the Options list and overrides the file-association).
You could try to change it back to the default by choosing "Default Editor" in the "Open with" context menu option in Project Explorer for each file that behaves strange.
The default editor for a file type can be set through Window>Preferences>General>Editors>File Associations. If multiple editors are set for .java and it's bugging out then possibly removing all editors except the default will help.
I am using pydev plugin in eclipse. I can create the project, but I cannot see the files in the project explorer.
I am attaching the screenshot. Any idea how to fix it.
Thanks
Kiran
in Pydev explorer Ctrl+F10 then from Top Level Elements choose Projects. It will show the projects in your workspace
I got a little workaround. I'm not sure what the difference between "PyDev Package Explorer" and "Package Explorer" is supposed to be, but it's clear that one of them is buggy.
I'm well aware that this is from 2011, but I came across this question while searching for it. I hope my answer will help someone.
Ensure you are in the "PyDev" perspective.
Top menu bar > Window > Customize Perspective...
Menu Visibility tab
Under "Edit", tick the "Show views" box (it might be half-ticked somehow depending on how your OS displays that). Press OK.
Top menu bar > Window > Show view > Package Explorer
A new 'view' should now be visible, called "Package Explorer". Move Package Explorer to an appropriate space (click and drag).
Delete the old "PyDev Package Explorer".
It seems that Eclipse does not have the resources up to date...
Have you configured Eclipse to do automatic refresh of resources?
Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown: check 'Refresh workspace on startup'
Preferences > Workspace: check: Refresh automatically (this depends on your Eclipse version -- in 3.7 the settings were changed a bit, but it should be easy to know which configurations are related).
You can also try making a manual refresh: either F5 or right-click: refresh.
Another thing to check is if the path of the project is actually the path you're expecting (i.e.: the path that has the resources) -- you can press Alt+Enter to open the properties for the project and check if the location is actually correct.
I generally have my working projects sitting on folders on my Desktop. When they are completed I just move them to a c:\dev\. The thing is I'm doing it in a rather archaic way.
1. move project files
2. delete project on Eclipse
3. create new project on Eclipse on the new location
How to you guys move projects around?
If I could alter the: File -> Properties -> Resource -> Location path it would be dead simple!
Example move:
c:\user\desktop\project_123
c:\dev\project_123
Right click on the Eclipse project in the Package Explorer, select Refactor, then select Move... In the dialog that comes up, enter or navigate to the new location and click OK. This will also preserve your CVS or other SCM metadata, but will also bring all your modifications as well, and you won't lose any memberships in Working Sets, launch configurations, or other things that Eclipse associates with your project.
Use Eclipse's Move menu item
Open Navigator view, right click on your project and click Move. Then select the destination directory.
Navigator View > Right Click > Move
Note it doesn't seem to work in Package Explorer (at least not in Neon). The move dialog from Package Explorer is different, so use the Navigator window.
I don't know whether eclipse has made modifs since the date of this post...
In my case I had moved a project folder manually and I wanted Eclipse to open the project on this new location. This is what I did (and it seems to work).
(I'm using eclipse "helios" v 3.6.2)
File menu | Import ...
General | Existing projects into Workspace
Select root directory = top directory of your project on the new location
Finish
I rarely have any projects in Eclipse that aren't under source control, so all I would need to do is check the project out in the new location.
If you don't have source control, Eclipse works with CVS rather well out of the box, and it's pretty simple to setup CVS to run locally without a server: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/faq.html#cvsinit
WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS:
Copying an Eclipse project from one directory (let's call it old_dir) to another directory (let's call it new_dir):
Open Eclipse and specify the copied working directory in your new_dir.
Once it opens the project in the this new_dir, the projects listed under Project Explorer Tab might still be the ones contained in the old_dir (you can check it by right clicking each and following through: "Resource -> Linked Resource" to see the Path Variables values). Thus, they have to be removed from this work space. Delete the Nios 2 Application Project and the BSP Project from the Project Explorer Tab by right clicking on it and selecting Delete option which will pop a new window. In the pop-up window, make sure that the Delete project contents on disk check box is UNCHECKED before clicking OK to delete the Projects. Otherwise, it will delete it from the old_dir where you copied the project from.
Right click in the Project Explorer Tab Area → Import → General → Existing Projects into Workspace and add the copied Nios2 Application Project and the BSP Project from the new_dir.
Right click in the Project Explorer Tab Area → Index → Rebuild, otherwise the Nios2 Application Project will not be able to use the includes provided by the BSP Project.
Click on Project → Clean → OK to clean and rebuild the whole project.
When using console to talk to the NIOS, make sure elf's path is updated to the new project directory as well!
Right click on your project->copy.
right click in project explorer free space and right click->pase.
chose new folder and project name.
I copied the whole project to a new directory. After setting Eclipse to the new workspace it recognises the project instantly. Thus it was nothing further to do. I use Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, Version Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2).
For Eclipse Oxygen, to move a Java project, djb's accepted answer works well (in my experience just now), except having read comment by Basic May 14 '12 at 9:27, I tried to add my project XMLDiff to C:...\SVN\trunk\Internal Projects, and I got a failure with the rather cryptic message:
Problems encountered while moving resources.
Resource already exists on disk.
I had to move the project to C:...\SVN\trunk\Internal Projects\XMLDiff by creating a new folder, XMLDiff, in the browse dialog, and the result was C:...\SVN\trunk\Internal Projects\XMLDiff, not C:...\SVN\trunk\Internal Projects\XMLDiff\XMLDiff.
So this must have changed between Basic's experience in 2012 and Eclipse.3.
For Eclipse Oxygen
Project Properties -> Resource -> Linked Resources -> Linked Resources (Tab)
