I installed Summer 14 Force.com IDE on Kepler. Following https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Force.com_IDE_Installation. 
I have that Problem
On Mac OS X, "Force.com" perspective does not appear in Eclipse despite having the current version of the Java Runtime Environment. 

The article give the following solution :
Download the full version of the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from the Java download page.

I've done it. 
I've change the Installed JRE in eclipse. 

But still can't see the force.com perspective in eclipse.



Does anyone have any suggestions to get the Force.com perspective option to appear in Eclipse -- ON OSX Mavericks? 

I installed eclipse, dragged it to Applications, and an able to open it. 
I have followed the instructions here to install the Force.com IDE :https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Force.com_IDE_Installation

I have searched, and all the articles, answered questions say to edit eclipse.ini to add an expicit path the the JRE. I've been unable to locate eclipse.ini on OSX. There is a config.ini, but I cannot find a line in that file that appears to be appropriate to edit. 

I have tried Eclipse 4.2 and 4.3, and tried JRE 7, and JRE 8. 

Eclipse-> About Eclipse->Installation Details  shows that Force.com IDE is installed: "Force.com IDE 31.0.0.201406301722 com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group salesforce.com'

I cannot open a Force.com project, and the Perspective is not available as a choice.
