Not sure if this is problem but  this ticked me off for a while since I did not realize what was happening at first - maybe this will help others   Its not really a problem  just the way Eclipse works   I m use to Visual studio  Its all about Perspectives   I set up an  existing  PHP project in eclipse neon  and then tried to configure and run debug   A Popup  Confirm Perspective Switch  is shown - I selected  Yes   not realizing what it actually does   The  perspective  then changes and you no longer see the project explorer anywhere   You cant  open  the project explorer window from top nav   window   show view   since its no longer there  which is BS  it should show something that gives you indication of current and other  perspectives  - at least for newbie    No where now does it give project explore options     Now you must change the  perspective  back from debug to PHP  at least in in my case    This can be done a couple ways  easiest is from the icons on right top right side side   One icon would be the  bug   and next to it is the PHP icon   Just click the icon  perspective  you want   The other way is from top nav bar   window   Perspective   open Perspective  then select PHP    Could they hide this any deeper   I know this is likely second nature to those who have used eclipse for a while  but was frustrating to me  on day one  till I figured out what was going on
