A simple one today. My Outline view in eclipse does not show me any methods or fields anymore. I have selected the few options that are available in the outline vie
In Window>Show View>Outline I, too, had the message "Outline view is empty".
It was sufficient (Eclipse 4.3.2) to press CTL+O to call the QuickOutline and then the Outline view was filled automatically. I suggest not deleting .metadata because you need it :-)
