Then this is one thing I don't like about Eclipse/WDSCi. Disabling a feature
is not enough. We should be able to request features be removed or repaired.
It seems kind of strange to have a plugin-based architecture and then have
no formal way to remove or request repairs on plugins.

Thanks,
Kelly

There is no formal uninstall process in general, however if you physically
uninstall then it is smart enough the next time you start to make the
necessary changes.  For example, your vendor could have provided a Windows
installer/uninstaller that might have done this.

In general, the proper way to package and distribute a plugin is by also
creating a "feature".  When there is a feature present, it is possible to
then manually disable the feature via the Install/Update "Configurations"
view.  This does not uninstall the plugin, it disables it in your
workspace.

I imagine there are open bugs for this in Eclipse.org, it probably just
isn't high priority.

Okay, I found the plugin in the IBM/WebSphere Studio/Site
Developer/v5.1/eclipse/plugins directory. I right-clicked and deleted it. I
then  closed and restarted WDSCi.  This let me take an option to "repair"
the plugin.  So I was able to get a fresh install. But what an *ugly* way
to
handle this situation.

And I still don't know how to permanently uninstall a plugin.

Thanks,
Kelly

I've looked through the WDSCi help and searched Google but have not found
clear, detailed instructions on how to uninstall a plugin. I'm having
trouble with a plugin and the vendor has asked me to "remove it from WDSCi
completely" and reinstall it. I don't have a clue how to ensure it has been
removed completely.

How do I uninstall/remove a plugin?

Thanks,
Kelly
