I don't see CDT in eclipse-cdt

I don't see the File -> New -> C Project after I installed eclipse-cdt under ubuntu apt-get install eclipse-cdt

I've been using eclipse-cdt for couple of years, I upgraded my ubuntu and when I open eclipse the menus don't have C/C++ options in it [ as if you installed eclipse not eclipse-cdt] so I went to install new software and downloaded cdt and it says eclipse cdt is upto date yet I dont see : http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fgetting_started%2Fcdt_w_existing_code.htm [ you have to go down the page or search for Creating a project and click that link ]

did it disable during precise-pelagon installation or something went wrong.

thx.

First off, get a Real Disto ;-P

Then, check:

Window --> Open Perspective

or 

Window --> Show View

If in neither, check:

Window --> Customize Perspective --> Command Groups Availability

Just an FYI -- Eclipse is Eclipse. CDT is just an addon plugin. You can download plain vanilla Eclipse and then go to Help --> Eclipse Marketplace and search for CDT and install the plugin. A lot of people prefer to NOT use the bundled distro Eclipse because they usually tweak and bloat it. I used to use the Fedora Eclipse for years until I got fed up with weird and strange things happening, which usually boiled down to me using the built in one from my package manager.

For example, the Fedora Eclipse does not include the Eclipse Marketplace by default (WHY!?!), you have to go get the plugin and install it into your Eclipse just to get the normal Eclipse features that should have been there all along. There's plenty of other examples...
