I am using Eclipse for Android programming. Somehow (I probably accidentally closed it), the package explorer (usually on the left side), isn't there anymore. How do I get it back in the same position? I have tried Window > Show View > Package Explorer and it did nothing. I also tried Window > Open Perspective > Java Browsing and it opens the Package Explorer, but in the wrong position and it also opens a bunch of other unwanted things. I am in the Java perspective now.
How do I get the Package Explorer to appear back on the left side?
You can right-click on the java perspective and say close.
Then open it again from the 'Open Perspective' like had done originally.
I had done this on occasion when Eclipse was misbehaving. And it should bring the default views back in. Usually quicker for me then to remember how to bring it back.
