I don't know if this is the right place for it. Using Eclipse 4.6.2 on OSX, in the Java view, I used to have a bar on the bottom with Problems, Tasks, Console, Properties, etc. tab options. This bar is now small icons on the right. It appears on the bottom when I click on the right bar, but it disappears as soon as I click on any editing tab outside of it. Clicking and dragging the bar to the bottom doesn't have any effect. It has a restore-window style icon that doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm also finding that when I select a .java file, like in Problems or Call Hierarchy, it shows up on the bottom, when it used to pop up above the bottom section.
I've always gotten really confused whenever I've tried to mess with the default views/perspectives in Eclipse. I probably made this happen by mistake. I want to revert to the original behavior, but I'm not sure how. Any advice?
On the top there should be a "window" menu bar. If you look in the window bar you should get a "reset perspective" option.
Can anyone tell me what the windowitems in the Eclipse views encircled in red in the screenshot below are called? And more importantly, how to disable the use of them and just show the toolbar buttons of the view. In older versions of Eclipse the toolbar would just be shown instead of this tiny button to unhide the toolbar.

How can I hide the status bar in Eclipse? I mean the one at the bottom, where also the "Progress" status is shown. It is very distracting because it is doing something all the time.
I took a look at this question, but the answer given there and on Superuser does not show how to hide it. I also did not find anything in the preferences. I am using Eclipse 3.7.2.
How can I hide the status bar, or at least, get rid of the "Progress" bar at the bottom?
With CSS in Eclipse Juno there are endless possibilities to style Eclipse the way you like: edit the eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.2.2.v201302041200/css/e4_default_mac.css (adapt it to your Eclipse version and operating system).
There, add the following lines:
#org-eclipse-ui-trim-status,
#org-eclipse-ui-trim-vertical1,
#org-eclipse-ui-trim-vertical2 {
visibility: hidden;
}
Now, not only the status bar but also the bars on the left and right are hidden. Before doing that, you might open the views you like to have and bring them to your preferred positions and assign a shortcut to them so that they will pop up whenever (and only when) you need them. Of course, you can undo that change any time.
Eclipse Oxygen (4.7)
Approach 1
Go to Quick Access (or press Ctrl + 3)
Type "status bar"
Choose Toggle Statusbar - Toggle the visibility of the bottom status bar
Approach 2
Window > Appearance > Hide Status Bar
This feature is described here.
With the new release of Eclipse, you can use the menu to hide the status bar.

Silly question: How do I get the tiny progress bar back in Eclipse ? I managed to drag it out of existance...
I don't know how you remove only progress bar.
I guess you removed console window. To add console window go to
Window --> Show View --> console
Maximize eclipse window and it will pop back up. Worked for me.
Restoring Down and Maximizing the Eclipse window also did the trick for me.
I am sorry in advance for the stupid question but I am not a Mac user. For some reason the toolbar (which contains icons like run, debug ....) are gone. Usually there is a button on the top upper right of the window to restore it but for Eclipse it is not there. Can anyone help?
It was hidden by right-clicking toolbar and selecting "Hide Toolbar". Go to Window > Show Toolbar.
On a Mac it is
Window -> Show Toolbar.
