I use Eclipse Mars for C/C++ on Ubuntu. Now I must use Java. I reading on how to install Java on Eclipse, this answer as well as this one. It is obvious that I have to click on Help, but I can't find it in Eclipse, thus I am asking for help! :)
Or maybe is there a way to activate Help via terminal or something?
The menu can be customized as part of the perspective
To get it to show, the two options are
Reset the entire perspective. Help should be visible by default in every one but resetting will reset every customization done to the perspective.
this can be done either through Preferences, General > Perspectives via the Revert button
or via the menu for the current perspective: Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective...
Adjust the perspective
Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective...
In the new window that appears in the Menu Visibility tab is the Help entry which is probably invisible.

I was using Java in Eclipse 8 and I accidentally opened this debug perspective. I want to exit this debug perspective, but I don't know how.
Thanks!
As already many authors mentioned, you can click on "java"-perspective tab. You can read more about eclipse in official user guide.
There are also a plenty of resources on web with eclipse guides/introductions/tutorials.
You see a box named java at the right top side? i.e, between quick access and debug texts. Click it! :)
You can use java button right corner to come back to regular java perspective.
In MyEclipse go to the Top-Right corner. Switch to the required mode using the following Buttons:
Open perspective
Debug perspective
Java perspective
MyEclipse Java Enterprise perspective
Right top corner! You prolly used the shortcut ;-)
Right Click the project and Open Properties.
Then Select Run/Debug Setting from there you will find all the launch Configured.
Delete all the launch and Run the application.
On the top right of your window you see that the "Debug" button is active.
To the left of it there is a button for the usual "Java" perspective. You just need to click that :)
In IntelliJ every time I make a change in code and I run the app afterwards, "run window" is automatically popped up. Is there any way to disable this annoying behaviour or how to make it less distracting?
I finally could solve this one. At least it worked for me. At the bottom of "Run/Debug configurations" window and in "Before launch" part, uncheck "Activate tool window" check box.
There is currently no solution to do this permanently. However, there is a workaround to prevent it from popping up. Try this:
After the first time the window pops-up simply resize it all the way to the bottom (i.e. grab the TOP and drag down until the window disappears). This will prevent it from popping up again until you manually click one of the buttons to open any window in the same area (i.e. Run, TODO, Android, Terminal, Messages, (and Find Results) - or whatever you have in that same area if you've customized it).
To keep it from popping up, never click the hide button on any of these windows but rather use the same "drag from top to bottom" to hide them (the effect is the same).
This is annoying, to say the least, but once you get used to it it works fine and is much less annoying than dealing with that blasted Run popup window :)
NOTE
I should mention that this is completely safe to do as the windows are only hidden when you do this, and clicking the window's button at the bottom will show it in its original size - so nothing goes missing or breaks using this method :-)
These are called Tool Windows. Right-click the tool window, it pops up a menu, the last option of which is 'Hide'.
Alternatively,
You can install the plugin ToolWindow Manager to show/hide the Tool Window of your choice.
Either
1. Set the run window to be in either split and then shrink it down to be as small as possible.
2. Set the windows to be in floating mode and then shrink it down and move it somewhere less distracting.
disabling checkboxes in "Window | Background tasks solved my problem.
It is soooo annoying oO I just dragged the windows to an other screen and/or set their height to a minimum.. Not "best practise" but it is better than nothing -.-
In intellij go to main menu windows->active tool window->disable floating mode option there.
thanks
For those who are facing this issue with "Run" window they can follow below instruction
From dropdown select "Edit Configuration":
Open Logs tab:
Uncheck these 2 checkboxes:
I have found a solution!!!!
There old plugin for Intellij IDE called "Hide Tool Window Ex".
It hides any tool windows that being opened just after you click in editor again.

Could somebody tell me if it is possibile to open two instances of the same project in Intellj IDEA or can I for example have two windows with opened different project files with attached project explorer.
I asking for that because I have two monitors and it will be more efficient to navigate on each windows separately.
For now I must drag tab from root window and drop to another window which it is annoying and unhandy.
This is not possible. IntelliJ IDEA has a one project one window paradigm.
Some suggestions, in order of best to worst, that may help:
The navigation bar (Alt+Home or ⌥⇱ {Option Home}) can be used in place of the project tool window. You can use it either in pop-up mode or anchored mode (View > Navigation Bar). When a file is opened via the navigation bar, it opens in the window that has focus. The nav bar is ultimately a horizontal project window. Check the help documents for how to easily navigate through the nav bar. Once you get use to it, you may find you never use the project tool window again.
Have you tried floating the project window and placing it on the edge of one of the monitors so it sites between the two editor windows? While you would still need to drag file to the second editor window, it might prove easier.
You could create a second project with the all the same modules as the first project (just being sure to save the second project's .idea configuration directory in a different location). But this would require keeping two project configurations in sync, and you would need to make sure the "synchronize files on frame activation" setting is on. In the end, I think that is far more hassle then it is worth.
Hope that helps.
(FYI, I may be new to StackOverflow, but I'm a ten year passionate and evangelical IntelliJ IDEA user.)
Whenever I open Java perspective in Eclipse, it appears like the image.
Java EE perspective is totally fine.
Has anyone had the same problem and fixed it?
Try to reset your perspective. With the Java perspective already selected go to
Window > Reset Perspective...
I have several working sets in my eclipse which i often switch from one to another, is there any shortcuts for this so i don't have to click the "view menu" button and click the working set in it every time when i want to switch?
Thanks.
You can set up in preferences/Window working sets.
See this reference for your answer.
