How do I get my pending changes view back after Eclipse upgrade?
I upgraded my Eclipse client from Indigo/3.8 to Mars/4.5 and now my pending changes view is blank:
What it looks like is that I can see all the expando twisties and I can click on the individual rows where the various workspace and streams would be, but there is no text. I tried reloading a workspace but it had no effect. Any ideas?

It may well be that Eclipse 4.5 is the problem. As of http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity/index.html only Eclipse 4.4 is supported.

Comments Maybe that's the case - that's exactly how I installed Eclipse 4.5. If it doesn't fix itself I'll downgrade and see if it helps.
I downgraded to Eclipse 4.4 and things are working again. . . ;)

I would start witch checking what code you see in Eclipse. Do you see your changes in the code?
Also what kind of pending changes you expect to see (incoming, outgoing, for workspace, for the stream?)
Sorry that I can't post a screenshot, I'm not sure if something's up with the site or it just doesn't like my linux web browser. What I'm trying to explain is that the entire Pending Changes view is blank. Where you would normally see the steram or workspace name there is nothing -- as if, for example, the font color was the same as the background color. It's not just that I'm not seeing a change I expect to see -- literally, I see nothing in the view at all.
You need a certain reputation to be able to upload an image. You can however upload images to other sites and put a link into the post.
Also do you see any error messages in <your-workspace>/.metadata/.log file?
Thanks, Ralph.
Note, 4.4 is supported for RTC 6.0 older versions might not support that. Check the version you are running.
Sometimes it works even if not being supported, but sometimes there are problems if you try to install the RTC extensions into unsupported Eclipse versions.
