The Trim Stack is a vertical icon bar that should appear, if not already, on one side of the main window. Back when this answer was originally written, it was on the left side (from which I had a screenshot, which, unfortunately, was uploaded to some place to insert the image, not in Stack Overflow, and then linked to since then was lost). Currently, I do not really like the eclipse user. I donβt know if this is so.
It contains icons for each pivot window, which is minimized, so if none of them are minimized, there is no trim stack. Try to minimize the Explorer / Package Navigator window and you should see it. You can then click the Restore icon (overlapping squares at the top) in the cropping stack to return the window.
BUT - and this is consistent - sometimes with Eclipse Juno, when the window with the Console, etc. minimized, and there is no trim stack, the trim stack does not appear, and using the "Show view" does nothing. About how I found this to minimize some other window, then the trimmer stack will appear and the console icon will appear (blue and white square of the monitor). Click this, and console, etc. Will appear in a popup window. Click the Restore icon in this pop-up window and it will again become part of the main window.
