Eclipse PDT or Webtools missing perspectives on Linux (Ubuntu)
This post is an aide-mémoire and hopefully helps anyone who has the same issue I had; namely that Eclipse PDT or Eclipse Webtools Project running on Linux (in this case Ubuntu) was not making all installed perspectives available.
The symptoms were that Eclipse would start but only in "vanilla" mode: only three basic perspectives showing. If like me you installed the Eclipse binary as root into some directory then that's your problem right there. In order for the other perspectives to become available when running Eclipse as a non-root user, you need to ensure that the user you are trying to run Eclipse as has read/write/exe permission on the Eclipse directory. I'm sure they don't need all permissions on all the sub-directories but I wasn't about to start messing around to find out exactly what was required.
In short - check the permissions on the Eclipse directory!

Hmm, interesting. I'm getting something similar while running Eclipse under Windoze, in that it 'forgets' the last view (and thus any files) opened and you have to revert to a saved view. Annoying in what is an otherwise nice tool for the job.
