Hi
Eclipse 3.2.2
right click on a feaure in Manage Configurations dialog, shows the popup
menu with only Disable, Replace With, Properties enabled. Why is
uninstall item is inactive. any reason ? no errors reported and feature
status from Properties says "This feature is configured properly".
Tried starting Eclipse with -clean option as well.

Thanks Eric; must appreciate your reply.
The feature was manually copied into eclipse/ directory; which is
distributed as zip file; so unzipped to be more precise.
There is still some unexplainable behavior which is sometimes the
feature does not get listed in the Manage Configurations dialog; no
errors reported; even when started with -clean option. I am still
digging to find the reason.
but all works fine if installed using Update Manager.
