The package explorer in eclipse only shows up on the Java tab (perspective) but i would like to show it in debug mode also. is there a way to do that? i can't find it in Windows->Show view in debug mode but it is there in java mode (actually, that's project explorer but it looks like the same thing)
Window > Show View > Other... > General > Project Explorer.
Upon running Eclipse you should see a pane labeled 'Package Explorer', probably on the left. If you do not see one, you can open it up by going to the Window menu, selecting Show View and Package Explorer. If it doesn't show up under Show View, select Other, then 'Java', then 'Package Explorer'.
You could try holding down Ctrl + F7 to see a list of all views, then up/down arrow to the View. If Package Explorer is in the list it has been minimised or something. If you select it and still can't see it, try Window → Reset Perspective... to restore all views to their defaults.
A Java program can be debugged simply by right clicking on the Java editor class file from Package explorer. Select Debug As → Java Application or use the shortcut Alt + Shift + D, J instead.
You can open it by selecting Window / Show view / Other... / Java / Package Explorer.
