Relevant steps:

Go to "Help" -> "Install New Software...".

In the new dialog, in the "Work with:" pull-down list, select "Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo". (Note: Replace Indigo and the download list with download locations for your eclipse version)

Select the following packages to install: 

       "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development". 
       "Programming langauges -> Eclipse Java Development Tools"

After installation is complete, if you restart eclipse, you should see an option for java perspective in "window -> open perspective -> " or "window -> open perspective -> other"

If the above does not work, check the following as well: Java EE perspective in eclipse
