No Java Perspective in Eclipse

If I try "Open perspective" in Eclipse there is no Java option. What do I do be able to use the Java Perspective?

Tore,
When you click open perspective, are you going to the "other" menu option? This gives you a list of all available perspectives. There is both a java and a java browsing item in the list.
If that doesn't work, did you download the java version of eclipse or the general one?

There was now Java perspective in the list you are referring to. But I got it sorted out now. Solution: Extract eclipse-JDT-3.0M8.zip into the eclipse-platform-3.0M8-win32 directory.
I initially downloaded the wrong version. I should have downloaded eclipse-SDK-3.0M8-win32.zip instead of eclipse-platform-3.0M8-win32.zip. I thought the first one was some kind of development version.
