If I have two versions of Eclipse installed, how do I add a perspective that I've installed in one [version of eclipse] to the other? How do perspectives get added in the first place? I.e., where do they come from (don't tell me "the 'Open Perspective' dialog")?

+1  A: 

Eclipse perspectives are usually defined by features / plugins. If you are missing a certain perspective check the list of installes features / plugins.

Sure, but what if I have a plugin already installed in one eclipse -- how do I get it to the other?

you would have to install that plugin in your other instance of eclipse. The safest way to do this would be via that plugins update site.

A: 

Editors and other plug-ins might add their own perspectives. You can also create and save your own perspectives, but I believe you're asking about perspectives added by plug-ins.

The solution is to install the same plug-ins.
