I assume you see the plugin when in your Install/Update Perspective and 
that it shows Disabled?  I seem to recall there was some UI somewhere 
right in the same info to enable it.  Of course that would assume it is 
still actually on your disk.

Usually, if you just delete the plugin and the feature then restart WDSC 
that is enough to remove all traces and let you reinstall.  An exception 
might possibly be when you have disabled it. 

Deleting the .config folder in the .metadata folder of your workspace 
would fix that.  Come to think of it, I would try that first anyway.  That 
is where this info is stored.  Usually if you delete it (rename would be 
better) then it just rebuilds the info based on the plugins it can find.
