To get the button back, install Eclipse 3.2.2.

That button was removed from the toolbar in Eclipse 3.3, because it was only 
available as a button and not as a preference from a dialog, and people 
would hit it by mistake and then not be able to figure out what happened, 
provoking many a posting on eclipse.newcomers.

If you are using Eclipse 3.3, go to Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Only 
show the selected element, and turn that off.

In Eclipse 3.2.2 or earlier, the button is only visible if you're viewing a 
Java editor at the time; it's the sort of "document on top of a document" 
icon to the right of the "mark occurrences" button.  Again, it's called 
"show source of selected element" if you dangle over it.
