My Eclipse environment doesn't browse my project

Question

I'm using RTC and Eclipse Helios. I have a project loaded in my workspace, I can browse it manually just fine, but I can't use the [Ctrl]+[Shift]+T (open type) feature.

I recently deleted a clone project, loaded into another RTC workspace. It might have something to do with that.

So basically, how do I get Eclipse to browse through my project properly?

[EDIT 1]: I am in the java perspective. If i reload my ex-project, I can browse the classes in that one, but not in my new project.

Answer 1

Try right-clicking on your project and clicking Refresh. I occasionally have this problem (nothing is returned in the Type view) and this resolves it for me. I don't use RTC though, so your issue may be different. I don't know what the underlying cause is.

Answer 2

You must be in the Java perspective to access the Ctrl+Shift+T shortcut.

With RTC (IBM Rational Team Concert), your default perspective is "Work Items".

In that perspective, the shortcut for "Open Type" isn't active.

Solution:

• switch back to the Java perspective.
• display the view (from RTC) "Team Artifacts" and "Pending Changes"

That way, you still benefit from the RTC features while accessing all the usual Java features.
