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.

How did you install the feature originally? I think the Unistall
function is only available for plug-ins/features that are installed via
the Update Manager (Software Updates > Find and Install...)

To uninstall manually, you can shut down Eclipse, delete the appropriate
directory(ies) under <eclipse-base>/plugins/ and/or
<eclipse-base>/features/ and the restart Eclipse with -clean.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Also note that Disabling a feature is just as good as removing it as far
as Eclipse is concerned - Eclipse will not load disabled features and
they take no resources (other than some disk space).

Hope this helps,

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.
