Right click in eclipse not working?

Question

My right click does not work in eclipse.I tried to work with the servlet, so I downloaded javaEE for work and used it yesterday (August 13, 2014) after I did not use my eclipse, which I regularly use today. I started working on android in my usual eclipse. When I started working on the project, my right click did not work in the package explorer. Also in the window → show a view that displays a space.

These are different tests that I have done.

restart eclipse.

Change the workspace.

restart the computer.

But the problem is not resolved.

Answer 1

Restart Eclipse with "-clean"

Open a command prompt (click "Start", "Run ... type" cmd "), then go to the directory in which you have installed Eclipse with" cd ", and then run" eclipse -clean ".

Answer 2

I have recently had similar symptoms. It turned out that this was caused by the inaccessibility of the Subversion server - after the restart, I was able to right-click. My environment was Eclipse Luna with Subclipse.

Therefore, it is worth checking that all connected source control systems are working. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

This happened to me, but only in the "SVN Repositories" window (so that I could not verify anything). Using the right mouse button on the keyboard worked (I had to connect an external keyboard with this button to my laptop).

Answer 4

I had this problem with STS and I went to the STS folder where I started STS and opened eclipse.exe instead of STS and this fixed the problem. I was able to use the right mouse button for my project.

This fixed my problem "temporarily ONLY"

Answer 5

I ran into the same problem and went to Preferences-> Network Connections and changed the Active Provider from Direct to Manual. This solved my problem.

Answer 6

I had a similar problem. Later, I discovered that I installed one plugin named “ContextQuickies” from the market that causes this problem. I uninstalled it and restarted eclipse, which solved my problem. My environment was Eclipse Kepler.

Removal steps: Help-> Install Software-> Already Installed → This will open a new window, where you can remove the plugin and restart. Hope this helps

Answer 7

Enable error display in Eclipse: Window -> Show View -> Other . Search Error

There you will most likely find errors in the log that will tell you which plug-in prevents the menu from opening.

For example, I found:

java.lang.NullPointerException on de.anbos.eclipse. easyshell .plugin.commands.DefineCommands.createContributionItems (DefineCommands.java:49) in org.eclipse.ui.internal.menus.ContributionFactoryGenerator.compute (ContributionFactoryGenerator.java:72) in org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.ren swt.ContributionRecord.mergeFactoryIntoModel (ContributionRecord.java:271)

EasyShell plugin configuration fix resolved the issue for me

You can try to clear the SOCKS proxy server if your company uses a proxy server.

Windows-> Settings-> Network Connections-> Select SOCS-> Click Clear (make sure the proxy server is specified in it).
