We might need to add something like that under the Buckminster preferences as well since we use another p2 agent and
profile than the installer. Feel free to enter a bugzilla about that.
At present, the only way to clear Buckminsters p2 cache is to remove the directory:
<workspace home> /.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.buckminster.core/p2.resolver
Do NOT remove it while your IDE is running.

Try "Preferences" -> "Plug-in Development" -> "Target Platform" and click on the "Reload" button.
This is an important step after any manipulation of the target platform. A restart isn't enough but some times that's
needed too.

This is the p2 artifact repository so removing it will confuse p2. It will no longer sense that the artifact is present.
I sometimes edit this file by hand when I remove some bundles. The thing to remember when you do that is to adjust the
'size' attribute in the top <artifacts size="nnn"> accordingly.
