I am running Eclipse 3.6.
I used to have two options in the context menu when right clicking a project in any perspective - One would open Windows explorer in the folder the project is located at and the other would open a windows command prompt in the folder the project is located at.
Not sure why but for some reason I don't see these options anymore.
I tried looking for them under "Customize perspective..." but couldn't find it anywhere.
Anyone knows how to restore these two options?
Thanks
Eclipse itself does not have this function. So, I think you were using a plugin. I searched the eclipse plugin site, I think you can try this:

by mistake I chose the Close All Perspectives option in Eclipse Juno (the latest version). Now when I start Eclipse (I'm on Mac) there is just a blank page. I don't see any of my projects. How to I get back to them. I have Time Machine backups if they would be helpful here. Thanks
I have the same problem before,which i solved referring to the following post,please go through the post it might be helpful.

Goto menu Windows->Show Views->Project Explorer
It will show the project explorer tab
I have been draging and dropping from Windows Explorer to Eclipse since I've started using it, and now find myself unable to do so. When I drag a .java file over my package, the mouse cursor stays a circle with a diagonal bar through it and dropping does nothing.
I have tried to change my workspace, create a fresh new workspace, deleted eclipse and redownloaded it. It still doesn't work. Making Eclipse run as admin doesn't solve the issue either.
There are at least two workarounds:
Use the menu File -> Import -> General -> File System
or use CtrlC in Windows Explorer, CtrlV in the Package Explorer of Eclipse.
I had this issue when Eclipse was running as Administrator. Setting it back just worked.
I figured out it was due to viewing the project in Project Explorer instead of Package Explorer.
Right click on a project > Show in > Package Explorer
You'll be able to drag-drop again at this point.
I faced similar problem when trying to drag-drop image file directly from explored zip. After I extracted the zip, drag-drop worked as expected.
For me it was the missing marketplace client.
It is noticeable when help -> Eclipse Marketplace is missing.
I installed it with help -> Install new Software -> Update Site for 2018-09 -> Eclipse Marketplace
Extract all files from zip folder. It worked for me.
What is the advantage with not having a build path in eclipse? Why is that setting default when it's like something you'd never use? It seems eclipse indigo was developed to make software development as obscure as possible. I just checked out a fresh copy of the project I checked in (called dungeonworld) this afternoon from another computer and automatically nothing works, can't compile, can't choose build path, can't add jre, can't add jdk, can't add that to project properties.
Is my eclipse broken? I can't believe this is happening, such an easy thing not feasible.
Nothing above solutions worked for me so i tried below
Right click on project >> properties >> project facets >> click on java
It looks like you did not add Eclipse project metadata files to your source control system, so Eclipse doesn't know what your build path is or whether it is even a java project. You can see that the little folder on your dungeonworld project is missing the little 'j', which means Eclipse doesn't think it's a java project.
Go back to your other computer and look for the following files in your original project root...
.project
.classpath
.settings/*
Make sure all of the end up in your source control system or nothing will work right.
I have same problem, but i have solved
project right click -> properties -> java build path -> src/main/sources
all remove items on "Excluded", and then that item turn the status "(None)"
I tried below steps and it works for me.
Right click on project >> properties >> project facets >> click on java
Eclipse has a build path.
It's stored in a (by default hidden) .classpath file in your project.
You can also access it through the UI in project properties (right click on your project, properties, java build path).
Well, this is probably not your problem, but similar is happening if you are in Eclipse different perspective (for example for Python).

There where no entrys after right click on my projekt in Eclipse. How to click something, wenn build path entries are missing. So my Eclpise didn't detect my java project. I used following Maven command and after that I cleaned the project too. Now Projekt works as expected. So...
If you are using Maven, try mvn eclipse:eclipse in cmd console in your project directory! Make sure to use the path to your Maven folder for the command.
For example:
cd C:\yourEclipseProject\
C:\yourPathToMaven\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin\mvn eclipse:eclipse
This was helping me. After unsuccessful web research, a coworker told me this tip.
I just had a similar problem and I figured out that I had been choosing General Project instead of Java Project while creating a project. After I chose Java>Project it solved my problem. Maybe it'll solve yours as well.
After choosing that, eclipse automatically included java libraries as well.
It's not a good practice to commit IDE related files into source control. What if someone in team uses different IDE? It might have been only option at a time when OP asked this question.
New versions on eclipse (4.x) takes care of this automatically. Probably by observing what kind of source and build files you have in your project.
Don't know the reason. But this works for me, so posting it.
Right click on project -> 'Properties' -> 'Java Build Path'.
On my Mac computer, I follow the tutorial on this page to get the Taipan example run, but still failed so many times.
Switch to the Plug-in Development perspective and open the models folder within the org.eclipse.gmf.examples.taipan project. Explore each of the models found hereand their element properties. You'll notice that there are full and RCP versions of the generated Taipan examples to explore.
When I try to run as "Eclipse application", it launches a new eclipse app but the dialog box Examples does not have the 'Taipan Diagram' as it says:
create an empty project and a new 'TaiPan Diagram' found in the Examples folder of the New dialog
What are the possible causes? Someone helps me to solve it out?
I'm assuming that your plugin is working fine and doesnt show compilation errors?
Then the most likely reason is that you havent chosen your plugin to be active in your launch dialog.
I answered a similar question with this:
My guess is that you have just created the plugin, but aren't running it in your current Eclipse instance. That can be verified by opening the view "Plugin registry". That will show a list of all plugins, see if the plugin you have created is in that list.
If you click on the run button in Eclipse you will open a run configuration dialog. In one of the tabs, you get to choose what plugins should be available. Make sure your plug-in is selected. This will start up a new Eclipse instance that will run your plugin.
To make your plugin be a part of your ordinary Eclipse installation, you will need to export it to a jar and copy that jar to the dropins catalog.
I know it's possible in eclipse to open file browsers from your project's resource browser, but is it possible for files that aren't part of your project ? Typically external includes are not found in your resource browser...
If there is the equivalent of $(resource_loc) for the editor, it would work.. But I wasn't able to find it. Can anyone help me on this ?
Thanks!
EDIT : I Found StartExplorer, but it doesn't work for me. It is hardcoded to use WINDOWS explorer or cmd.exe. Also, it still requires you to use the resource browser. Other than that it can open paths selected in the editor, but they must be full paths.
EDIT 2 : StartExplorer seems to have been upgraded. I no longer use eclipse, but if someone else is still looking for this, I'd look again at their stuff!
For eclipse Luna (4.4) and later, You can use: Right Click->Show In->System Explorer
"Window" -> "Open Perspectives" -> "Remote Systems", then a view with root 'Local' node will be displayed.
While in Project Explorer pane, to browse files of any node, right click and select Show in Remote Systems view to get there.
From StartExplorer website:
This plug-in is inherently not platform-independent. Currently, the following operating systems/desktop environments are supported out of the box: Windows, Mac OS, Linux with Gnome, Linux with KDE, Linux with Xfce, Linux with LXDE.
As far as I know you have to create a linked folder for your external includes to achieve your goal. After that you can use StartExplorer for you externals as well. If you do not like that plugin you could try another similar one called EasyShell which is a similar one but you can configure all of its commands.
EasyShell seems quite descent to me (used in Ubuntu). It gives you the choices to open the Nautilus, to open the shell, to run a file and to copy the selected path. All of them appear with a right click on the package explorer of Eclipse. The installation was with no problems. Therefore, I would suggest it.
Hope I helped!
You might want to try eExplorer, see my answer on https://stackoverflow.com/a/24149472/612123
If you are using git, you can open Window > Show View > Other > Git Repositories. That will give you a Git Repositories explorer, which shows the Working Tree. The Working Tree will show all files in the filesystem, even temporary ones you created that are not added to git yet.
Another way is to open Window > Perspective > Other > Git.
Shortcut key can also be created in Eclipse>Help>Preferences>General>Keys
