Created attachment 263217 [details] workbench.xmi I20160719-0800 I can't open the CVS Repositories view in my Debug perspective any more. When I open the view via Show View > Other..., the view just doesn't get opened. The workbench window becomes active again and the caret blinks in the editor, but the editor tab looks deactivated and editor keybindings are broken until I focus another part or open/close a dialog. I think I once had the CVS Repositories as fast view, but now I don't see any minimized views in the trim bar. I can show the view in other perspectives. Resetting my perspective is not a solution, since I should not have to lose all my modifications. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9010334/eclipse-ide-view-gone-how-to-get-it-back talks about hacks to the workbench.xmi. I'll attach that file.
Does it work, if you remove all the shared element with elementId="org.eclipse.team.ccvs.ui.RepositoriesView" ? Below you see the xml content of that element. <sharedElements xsi:type="basic:Part" xmi:id="_o11wl-25EeSs7cRH99wmng" elementId="org.eclipse.team.ccvs.ui.RepositoriesView" contributionURI="bundleclass://org.eclipse.ui.workbench/org.eclipse.ui.internal.e4.compatibility.CompatibilityView" label="CVS Repositories" iconURI="platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui/icons/full/eview16/repo_rep.gif" tooltip="" closeable="true"> <persistedState key="memento" value="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

(In reply to Patrik Suzzi from comment #1) > Does it work, if you remove all the shared element with > elementId="org.eclipse.team.ccvs.ui.RepositoriesView" ? No, after deleting that element, I got the exceptions below and all my perspectives and other customizations were lost! Note that the CVS Repositories view is actually there, it's just not rendered. The workbench window shows no part as focused, but it leaves the keyboard focus on the last control that had focus. Alt+Shift+F1 says "CVS Repositories" is the active part. Not even removing all references to that elementId was enough. I had to surgically follow all xmi:id=... of all elements I deleted, and I had to make sure I replaced all selectedElement attributes that referred to such a deleted id by a reference to another element. That's not something a user should ever have to do. Raising severity, since this is a clear case of data loss for all practical purposes.

I was getting this exception after updating from mars to neon: Could not create the view: org.eclipse.team.ccvs.ui.RepositoriesView This resulted in the CVS Repositories tab being displayed, but with text and no icon, but it contained only the error with detailed stack trace if desired. I think this is the same issue reported here by Markus. I followed the instructions (after translating from German) on page http://www.torsten-horn.de/techdocs/java-eclipse.htm. In English, do the following: If you encounter one of these error messages in the following: Could not create the view: org.eclipse.team.ccvs.ui.RepositoriesView Org.eclipse.team.core.TeamException: Could not instantiate provider org.eclipse.team.cvs.core.cvsnature Then you probably installed a new version of Eclipse that did not have the CVS plug-in installed. In this case, for example, run the Mars Eclipse version: 'Help' | 'Install New Software ...' | 'Work with: Neon - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/neon' | 'Collaboration' | 'Eclipse CVS Client'. The configuration of the CVS integration is done in the following steps: 'Window' | 'Open Perspective' 'Other ...' | 'CVS Repository Exploring'. In a nutshell, I updated my Eclipse CVS Client. That fixed my issue.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
