It turns out that p2 does garbage collection (at some
point). So, now when I look into the installation
it seems quite clean. I guess some restart is
needed....

Hmm,
I am still puzzled when the automatic GC happens.
I have a -configuration where the plugins are
not garbage collected.... I wish there was a button
to run the p2 GC...

ServiceHelper.getService(Activator.getContext(),
IProfileRegistry.class.getName());
if (profileRegistry == null)
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to acquire the profile registry
service.");
IProfile profile = profileRegistry.getProfile("SDKProfile");
new GarbageCollector().runGC(profile);
MessageDialog.openInformation(window.getShell(), "Profile Garbage
Collector", "Profile garbage collection finished.");
