Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.7 not showing up

Question

I am running Windows 7 64bit and Eclipse 32 bit.

The problem is that the Google button with the g icon in the Eclipse toolbar does not show up after I finish installing GPE 3.7 and GWT SDK 2.5.1 plugin. When I go to Preferences, there should be a google tab, but that does not show up either. When I go to File menu -> New -> I should see Web Application Project but I do not see that. When I go Window -> Customize Perspective and then Tool Bar Visibility tab, I do not see a Google tree item there.

I have reset my perspective by going Window menu > Reset Perspective.... I have even restarted Eclipse many times after installation.

There was no problems with the installation. If I go to Eclipse -> About Eclipse -> Installation details, I see Google App Engine Java SDK 1.8.1, Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.7, and Google Web Toolkit SDK 2.5.1 alongside all the other plugins that I have installed listed.

Can anyone kindly help me resolve this issue.
