Eclipse Java perspective not showing after upgrade to 13.10

Question

I upgraded my ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10, eclipse was working like a charm, but after the upgrade, the java perspective is not visible any more, moreover, I cannot create a java project. Any idea why this happened, I tried to rename the java ~/.eclipse to ~/.eclipse.old but this didn't help. Thank you

yup: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-source openjdk-7-demo openjdk-7-doc openjdk-7-jre-headless openjdk-7-jre-lib — COMP, May 01 '14 at 18:43
If not then follow these steps -> Open Eclipse -> Window menu -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JRE -> If you see name OpenJDK & its path then good else follow these steps -> Click Add -> Select Standard VM -> for JRE home : /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 -> Finish -> Restart your Eclipse — Deepen, May 02 '14 at 01:43
@DpN Java is not an option in preference, it doesn't appear anywhere in the preference window. — COMP, May 02 '14 at 04:43
