I basically have multiple monitors and did some changes today. As such, the views on one of my monitors (specifically the console view) is no longer there. I can't seem to find a way to get it back.
The console view appears in Window -> Open view
, and this menu option moves focus from the other open views, but the console view does not appear on screen. This probably means it's positioned outside of the monitors...
How can I get the view back?
To open the Mission Control Perspective In top right corner of the Eclipse window, click the Open Perspective icon (Figure 4-1). The Open Perspective context menu appears (Figure 4-2). The Open Perspective dialog box appears (Figure 4-3). Select Mission Control and click OK.
Inside Eclipse -> Click on "Window" Select "Show View" Then select "Console" If you cannot see console in the list, select "Other" and then search for "console' in new dialog at top and select "Console"
two option:
window -> New Window //Opens with no editors, but preserves views layout window -> reset perspective //Keep editors, but resets layout view
If i understood your description correctly - you'll get what you want.
I managed to return my gone view without resetting the perspective!
I opened workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
, searched for "outline" there (the view was Outline) and found it (precisely org.eclipse.ui.views.ContentOutline) inside a children
tag which had an attribute visible="false"
. I removed that attribute and also <tags>Minimized</tags>
inside the children
tag, saved the file, started Eclipse, and that was it, my view returned!
