'Reset Eclipse Screen to Default When First Installed

How do you reset the winds as they were when you originally opened Eclipse. I accidently closed windows, now I can't find the window that lists the projects, so I can't run anything. Please advise. Thanks.

PS Reset Perspectives through the WINDOW tab doesn't work to reset to the default setting, only the last screen, which I screwed up.



Solution 1:[1]

You can select "Window->Perspective->Reset Perspective..." and click yes.

Solution 2:[2]

To reset the all Perspectives.

Click on windows - > Perspective - > Reset Perspective

Solution 3:[3]

I figured it out.

Window>Close All Perspectives>Open New Perspective>Java project. – user966218, Oct 7

For me this worked except Java project wasn't an option. Java EE (default) was what I selected under 'Open New Perspective'. Thanks

Solution 4:[4]

You could reinstall for factory settings or use 'Window->Show view' to show the windows you'd like

Solution 5:[5]

You probably inadvertently changed your perspective by double clicking on your java file tab (e.g. HelloWorld.java), as that makes it show only that file. You can change it back by simply double clicking on it again.
