My system experienced UI problems related to Acrobat which caused MyEclipse to shutdown with a no more handles error. org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2717)

When I re-open MyEclipse the Outline view cannot be created in any perspective. The message is: Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: “org.eclipse.core.runtime”. An exception stack trace could not be found.

What can I do to repair this?

Once the handles run out, things go pretty wonky. Once you restart, close all perspectives, shutdown. Then, I’d suggest deleting the directory at <eclipse-install>/configuration and restarting. At that point, most likely the problems will be taken care of.
