Hello,

The issue is the same my mac is OSx 10.10 Yosemite which accepts only java se 7 or higher so i downloaded java se 8 and also installed eclipse luna 64 bit coz eclipse kepler and helios i tried to install they need java se6  not se8 so further i tried to install force.com plugin which installed successfully as i can check from about eclipse>installation details> force.com ide v31 is installed but when i check from perspective it doesn't show up.
i tried to re install plugin, restart eclipse and check in perspective still force.com ide not found 
and in the add repository> the location used to fill up automatically in past and now its empty i need to manually enter the url for force.com ide to download from internet into eclipse luna
please help to resolve this issue asap...Appreciate your help!

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.
