Why are the C++ perspective and new project options not available in Eclipse? [message #1463605]

I installed the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" package from the Eclipse website. I work with C++ projects as well, so I used the "Install New Software..." menu option to install the "C/C++ Development Tools" package. After doing so and restarting Eclipse, the C++ perspective did not appear; clicking on the "Open Perspective" button did not show the "C/C++" option. I also found that I was unable to create a C++ project; the "C/C++" tree node did not appear in the New Project wizard. The Java perspective and new project options were available.

I verified that CDT was installed by going to the "Installed Installation Details" dialog - "C/C++ Development Tools" appeared in the "Installed Software" list. I tried uninstalling this package and reinstalled it again without success. I tried removing the Eclipse installation altogether and installing the "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers". There were no C/C++ options in this installation either. Why are the C/C++ features not available after installing the CDT feature in Eclipse?

I have a macbook - running OS x - Maverics . I would like to know the solution based on my OS.

Do you have the C and C++ compiler toolkits installed?

Open Terminal and type:
g++ --version

If the compiler is there, you should see something similar like mine:

macbook-pro-2:$ g++ --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.54) (based on LLVM 3.5svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0
Thread model: posix
macbook-pro-2:$

Do you use Java 1.7 or higher?

Any solution to this problem?
I installed AVR and CDT yesterday on Luna and have the same issue:
they show up in "help> installed software"
they don't show up in preferences, toolbar, new project, etc.

Do I need any CDT Optional features?

From Help>Installed Software:

AVR Eclipse Plugin 2.4.1 de.innot.avreclipse.feature.group avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net

C/C++ Development Tools 8.6.0.201502131403 org.eclipse.cdt.feature.group Eclipse CDT

C/C++ Development Tools SDK 8.6.0.201502131403 org.eclipse.cdt.sdk.feature.group Eclipse CDT
