Spring perspective is not showing in eclipse

I am trying to develop a spring boot application. I am using eclipse IDE. I installed STS from eclipse marketplace. But i cannot open the Spring perspective, and also i cannot create spring project (Option is not showing up in new project). I then uninstalled STS and installed all the required softwares from Install new Software(http://dist.sp...). Still facing the same problem. Please help me out solving this issue.

Though we cannot find the 'Spring Perspective'. Right Click inside Project explorer -> New-> Others -> Search 'Spring Starter project', We can get the Spring Starter Project. And go ahead to create SpringBoot project

Starting with STS4, Spring Tool Suite no longer includes the Spring Perspective

See here: https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/issues/23

I change the windows java_home environment variable to jdk1.8,and the spring setting in preferences and the spring perspective show.
This(link) may helps to understand the relation between sts and the jdk version

I solved mine by changing the Java version in my eclipse.ini file.

So in eclipse.ini :

Look for(
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
)

Change to(
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
)

And that worked.

In my case, the Spring option was not showing up. I manually rebooted Eclipse, and then it showed up. One more thing, I noticed there was one more installation dialog open behind Eclipse. I had to close that manually too. So after package installation, Eclipse failed to reboot itself, I think. I am using Eclipse Neon 1 on Mac.
