Everything worked fine until I installed some updates (not sure what exactly). Now selecting File > New > Project shows only two options: General and CVS. It used to also show C++, C, Java, PyDev, Google Web Application and a bunch of other stuff. Now I can't create any of these new projects. Existing projects of these types also won't open without errors.

Any idea how to solve this (I'm using Eclipse 3.7)? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Eclipse and the plugins, didn't work... Sad

What perspective is in effect when you try this? (Look out at the upper
right-hand side at the Perspectives tabs...)
