Meny item missing - Perspective - Plug-in Development

[MyhreAndersen]

Google AI says:
Steps to Create an Eclipse Plugin:
Set up a Plug-in Development Project:
Open Eclipse and switch to the Plug-in Development perspective (Window > Open Perspective > Other > Plug-in Development).

But there was no such menu item on my Eclipse IDE
Version: 2025-12 M2 (4.38.0 M2)
Build id: 20251030-0646

Can someone help?

Please make sure to use Eclipse for RCP/RAP developers edition and then you can simply create a new project of type "Plugin Project"
