Salesforce Eclipse IDE not showing custom fields on object

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, and am now having issues with the Force.com IDE. When I select Force.com->Add/remove metadata components, I'm not able to see any custom field child component in the Objects-Custom component. Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the issue?

Hi Pradeep,

I think this is not the issue. It is working as expected. See screenshot below for details.

I am selecting the classes, triggers, and so. It does not include custom field. If we choose meta component and select the components that you wnat to get than it will copy it to your local workspace accordingly.

I had the same problem and found a workaround:

To retrieve objects along with your custom metadata, you have to manually add necessary objects to your Eclipse package.xml file. 
For example, to retrieve a custom object MyObject__c (with all fields, validation rules, record types etc), you should add:
  
<types>
    <members>MyObject__c</members>
    <name>CustomObject</name>
</types>

Hi Egor,

Isn't it a bit hard when we add multiple object to package manually?
I prefer using (*) instead of adding each custom objects to package.xml manully what do you think? 
<types>
    <members>*</members>
    <name>CustomObject</name>
</types>
