Eclipse – Bug in eclipse, not showing anything in Install Software Screen

eclipse

I have a problem with my eclipse. Whenever I go to the Install Software screen and put in a an update site, the screen shows nothing but when I click on the screen where I can select plugins they're there and I can actually go on to install the plugins.

I actually saw the plugins showing the first time I used it and then I got this error:

disable some commands"

After reading items in this post I checked if deleting the .metadata folder fixed the situation. It fixed the problem but I lost my workspace settings. In order to fix this without losing your workspace settings you must delete only this file:

${YOUR_WORKSPACE_FOLDER}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui/dialog_settings.xml
