Whenever I want to open a file in the package explorer, it will be opened as a new tab in the same view as the package explorer. Last time I started Eclipse, the were all opened in a seperate editor view.
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.
To view the project explorer, click on Window menu then, click on Show View and select Project Explorer. There is simpler way to open project explorer, when you are in the editor press alt + shift + w and select project explorer.
Project Explorer additional nodes for web projects, enterprise projects, spring beans and web services. Package Explorer - Provided by the Java Development Tools (JDT) UI project, this provides a view of Java classes for the workspace.
The package explorer & Creating a project 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 can try resetting your perspective.
In the upper right hand corner you can see your currently selected "Perspective" (you can also set it through Window-->Open Perspective-->Other). It will probably be "Java" for you. You can right-click on the perspective and choose "Reset". This will reset the perspective to it's default settings.
There is also Window>Reset Perspective as another way to reset.
open Window -> Perspective -> Reset Perspective It worked fine for me. Then you can just minimize all the other open tabs you don't need like Task List...
