Eclipse Java perspective not showing after upgrade to 13.10

Question

I upgraded my ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10, eclipse was working like a charm, but after the upgrade, the java perspective is not visible any more, moreover, I cannot create a java project. Any idea why this happened, I tried to rename the java ~/.eclipse to ~/.eclipse.old but this didn't help. Thank you
