Source / Design tabs disappeared after crash

[Mal]

While testing in hosted mode, the two hosted mode windows froze
and I killed them.

After that, the Source and Design tabs at the bottom of my .java
source file in that project have disappeared.

(They did not disappear in other projects.)

Is there a simple way to get them back?

Mal.

It came back. Problem solved.

If the Design and Source tabs are not present, that usually means that the files was opened with the Eclipse Java Editor rather than the Designer Editor.

Use Open With > Designer Editor to edit the class with Designer.

Thanks Eric. That makes sense of it. Mal.

Note that Eclipse will remember the last editor used, so you only need to use Open With once. You can use Open or double click on a file from then on.

Occassionally, Eclipse "forgets" the last editor used, so you might need to use Open With again.
