Where is the "Terminate all" button in Eclipse?

Question

I can't seem to find (even in debug mode) the following icon in eclipse: Terminate All button . Is there a way to make it visible again (I suspect that I need to check some box in Window->Preferences but I can't find it...)?

It seems that the terminate all button is not available in Kepler. Hence, the best way I've found to terminate all current runs is (workaround):

Open the Debug tab.
Select all runs (Ctrl+A)
Right click on selection and select option "Terminate/Disconnect All"

Here is a screenshot exposing this workaround:

How to "Terminate All" runs

It is not as simple as using the button. Nevertheless this solution is good enough for my needs.

Kudos to @Velthune for pointing out that "In versions [Luna, Kepler, Juno, Indigo, Helios ] I can't find that icon!".

You need to be in perspective Debug view.

solution A

take a look at this link.

solution B

Search in:

Window -> Customize Perspective -> Tool Bar Visibility (or Menu Visibility)

to check if your icon is visible.

Plus

You can create a customize shorcut to "Terminate All":
```
Window -> Customize Perspective -> Commands.
```
Here select 'Debug' group and modify your shortcut.

I am using Kepler. If what you say is right, then how am I supposed to terminate all runs? After developping for a few hours, I find out that my Eclipse is slower and slower. Am I supposed to: terminate every run individually, restart the program or else? – nicolas.leblanc Jul 28 '14 at 14:44
links I've provided was for c++, but you're using java. My mistake. http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fviews%2Fdebug%2Fref-terminateall.htm here there is your icon too. – Luca Davanzo Jul 28 '14 at 14:49

There's no coolbar action to Terminate All. That action is available in the Debug View.

When apps are running, right-click in the Debug View, and there you have it.

To extend Eclipse and add it yourself in the coolbar, you can make a plugin and add that.

Click on the Debug(perspective) tab on the Upper Right Corner of eclipse,then select Reset option. After that your Debug perspective will come back to usual. And then you terminate all your Debug process/thread.
