Missing metadata components like Custom fields, Validation rules etc in Force.com Eclipse plugin

I am one of the many people who uses Force.com plugin in Eclipse for development and deployment.
One day while trying to deploy some pieces of components, I found that there are some missing/unavailable metadata components to select from Add/Remove Metadata window. I was surprised and due to lack of time, I moved on using changesets for a while, but I was intermittently looking for getting such features back into my eclipse. I believe many people would have faced this issue before.

With lots of exploration into discussion forums and blogs, I finally come across one where I find this easy solution to this issue.


  1. Close Eclipse
  2. Uninstall  JDK/JRE from your system
  3. Install JDK/JRE again
  4. Open Eclipse
  5. Visit Add/Remove Metadata window
  6. Search for your components like Custom fields, Validation rules under Custom Object
