Every question dealing with uninstalling/disabling plugins for Eclipse Juno mentions an Uninstall button but I simply can’t find it and Eclipse’s help for Juno is sadly no help.
Has this ability been eliminated or omitted or is it in some place different for Juno?
The
Uninstall...button is available from theAbout Eclipsedialog. From that dialog clickInstallation Detailsand it’s under theInstalled Softwaretab. This typically is only available for features, not plugins. If you can find the appropriate feature that contains the plugins you want to eliminate, that should do the trick for you.If you are unsure of the feature containing the plugin, you can attempt to go the
Installation Historytab in theInstallation Detailswindow and try toRevertto a previous version of Eclipse that didn’t have the plugins.Finally, you can always manually go into your Eclipse installation folder under the
pluginsdirectory and remove them manually. This will sometimes require that you runeclipse -cleanfrom your command line/terminal to truly get rid of the plugin. This is probably the most error prone approach as you could cause problems with features/plugins that may depend on the removed plugins.
