Eclipse not starting after manual plugin uninstall [message #535211]

Hi guys,

It was risky Wink

but I decided to did it and I tried to uninstall Subversive plugin by hand. I removed features/ and plugins/ stuff. restart the IDE and it's not starting now Sad

Unfortunately I also erase some entries in files containing "subversive" or "polarion" strings. Sad

I had already set environment for development with some plugins set. Am trying to avoid the situation of configuring it again from the scratch.

Any help?

Thank.

P

Unless you're able to restore the files you removed and undo the edits to
the files you changed, I think you're stuck with reconfiguring from scratch.
Eclipse 3.3 and higher do not like it when you manually make changes to the
features/ and plugins/ directories.

Have you tried restarting Eclipse with the -clean option?

Yes, I've tried. No luck with it also.
I decided to reinstall environment. Sad

Thanks.
