Eclipse Juno: Can't find fast view bar

Question

Version: Eclipse 4.2 Codename: Juno

I don't see a fast view bar in eclipse 4.2. I can't rightclick on a view and enable fast view. The fast view options under General -> Perspectives does nothing.

Was the fast view feature removed or am I missing something?

I've looked up at http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-9b.htm , but that didn't help either.

Answer 1

The single Fast view bar has been replaced by minimized stacks. Now you simply drag your views into one stack and then minimize it.

Answer 2

I have created a request to get back the original behavior (from platform 3.x):

Vote for it if you are equally interested.

Answer 3

It is bit tricky read the documentation properly search for fast view bar in the eclipse documentation. in General -> Perspective area set the radio button to fast view and enable hide empty fast view bar. after opening the navigator minimize the navigator now reopen the navigator and click esc it should be working..
