Eclipse (Oxygen), Run/Debug Bar disappears when switching Java/XML Files

Question

May be the question is already out there, but I really have no idea how to search for it. At least my attempts were unsuccessful.

I've installed Eclipse Oxygen. And when I've open a Java Class and a configuration File (eg. application.properties), the Toolbar for Run/Debug hides when I'm not in the Java File.

This is quite annoying if you have several classes open and you only want to change one setting in the configuration and then just want to start the application. At the moment I have to switch back to any Java class to use the toolbar or to make it visible again.

The whole keyboard shortcuts are too wild and nested for me...

Is there any setting to make this run/debug toolbar sticky?

Thanks a lot,

Tom

The visibility of the main toolbar items is bound to the editor and to the perspective. Make sure, you are in the Java or Debug perspective and not in the Resource or Git perspective:

Window > Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Java
