What happened to the package explorer in Eclipse?

I have recently been setting up SVN in Eclipse using the Subversive plugin (I am still a bit lost, but that's another issue).

I have been using this guide (http://soledadpenades.com/2008/12/10/add-svn-support-to-your-eclipse-installation/) and finally got it working! The only problem now is, I can't seem to find the Package Explorer, which is the only explorer I could ever seem to get working how I wanted it to (grouping projects into working sets).

Normally, you get it from going to WindowShow ViewOther, and then select it from the list. The only thing is, it's not IN the list of views... leaving me rather confused.

Just to be clear, I was using the package explorer before with no problems. I am running the latest version of everything as I did the auto update.

Any suggestions as to what is wrong here?

What is Package Explorer in Eclipse?

The Package Explorer provides a hierarchical tree view of the projects and files in your workspace, and works just like the standard Eclipse Project Explorer.

How do I reinstall project Explorer in Eclipse?

As per njol's answer above, once you have your tab detached (showing as floating outside of your Eclipse IDE), simply click on the tab (not on the title of detached tab window) and drag. Then you will see mouse cursor change showing you where you can drop it to attach the tab to IDE.

How do I restore default view in Eclipse?

You can always return a perspective to its default state by right-clicking the perspective button in the right top corner of the Eclipse IDE and clicking Reset. Note that this operation cannot be undone.

I'm guessing you've made it a fast view or minimised it to it. 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 WindowReset Perspective... to restore all views to their defaults.
