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! :)

enter image description here

Or maybe is there a way to activate Help via terminal or something?

    Well that's weird. And what happens if you press Alt+H? – Tunaki Nov 29 '15 at 16:53
  • @Tunaki yes! I am getting the File Edit Source ... menu showing (it does not when mouse is not there). I will check back in 3 hours. I have to go now! – gsamaras Nov 29 '15 at 16:55

    Apparently you can disable that: Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective... (a new window) Menu visibility (tab) > tick "Help" – zapl Nov 29 '15 at 17:03
  • @zapl Help was ticked. I chose reset the Perspective and it appeared! You helped. What should I do with the question now? – gsamaras Nov 29 '15 at 20:44
  • Make a nice answer that explains what you did and accept it – zapl Nov 29 '15 at 20:46
  • @zapl allow me to say that you should answer the question, because your comment triggered the solution. Moreover I will be able to accept it now and not after 2 days ;p – gsamaras Nov 29 '15 at 20:49

The menu can be customized as part of the perspective

To get it to show, the two options are

  1. 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...
  2. 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.
