Uninstalling plugins/features does not remove files under eclipse 3.5 -
i using eclipse 3.5. understand eclipse platform defined plugins present under eco system. however, see plugin details duplicated under workspace 'c:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins
' , installation directory 'c:\eclipse\plugins
'.
if uninstall plugins (using help > eclipse sdk > installation details
), find actual files not removed.
can manually change .metadata
directory contents , happy or missing thing?
how ensure .metadata\plugins
removed when uninstall plugins/features? eclipse pick configuration details from?
i have multiple workspaces , workspace not default workspace.
have ran uninstall on 1 of workspaces, 1 of plugins effecting platform. metadata entries , plugin directory contents still there, problem resolved.
still raises question, can delete files manually? have 1 eclipse installation (not shared one, hence no version conflicts)
i have never fiddled <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins
, contains properties installed plugins might need should re-install plugin removed.
i move installed plugins in shared dropins directory, allows me:
- to share set of plugins amongst several workspace/eclipse installations
- to remove plugin manually deleting directly within shared directory.
