Re: Clean option in 9.8 version of RDi?

Hi Justin


At 9.8, I don't think that works - the shortcut I use on my task bar calls RDi.exe - and when I put the -clean on that, it said it is not a valid option.

So in the P2 9.8 version, is there a different way to call it?


Cheers
Vern

I always just copy my existing shortcut, right-click=>Properties, and add
-clean after the existing Target (with a space before -clean).

We have a developer whom I helped to remove a plugin from RDi - the
Turnover Lifecycle Management plugin. We used the option to uninstall when
looking at Help/About IBM Rational Developer for i/Installation Details.
That seemed to work, the perspectives, etc., all seemed to have gone


However, there was an RDi error tab that listed a large number of Turnover
artifacts that RDi could not find.


I believe I read that with Eclipse there is a -clean option - I tried that
on rdi.exe and got an error saying that option was not valid.


I'm not aware of an option to start the P2 version of Eclipse now used for
RDi 9.8 - we want to clean up any leftovers from the uninstalled plugins.


If there is something in the Help, let me know. A fairly quick search gave
me nothing obvious.
