[news.eclipse.newcomer] missing java class creation icon

I am a new comer to eclipse, I installed it on my PC (Windows Vista Home Premium) about a month ago and ran a few java test programs which I had written previously and tested off the command line by prompt via "javac" and "java" without any issues.

When I initially installed Eclipse, I was able to create a new project and a new class without any problems at all... but now when I go into Eclipse, the place where I previously was able to find the java class creation wizard is gone!
I was under the impression that you had to right click on the project name in the Project Explorer View and this would bring up a sub menu with all the different types of things you could create under a Project. Now, the class creation icon is no longer there, and when I go to the wizards, there is nothing that resembles a link that will alow me to create a new class!
Also, under Window | Open Perspective |... there is no "Java" option, neither is there on under Window | Preferences.


I am hoping that this is due to me doing something quite silly, although I have no idea what as I haven't gone anywhere near my Eclipse environment in weeks, and I hope it's not somethign like my installation becoming corrupt.

Thank you for your help....
