I'm using the "links" folder to include one of my plugins. And everything
is working as expected. Then I realized I included the wrong plugin
version, so I just deleted the whole "links" folder and restarted eclipse.
And my plugin is still loaded (all the features are still available.)
Then I manually removed the my plugin's site node from platform.xml, and
restart, and the feature is still there!! This used to work in Eclipse
3.0. Is this a bug in 3.1? Whewe is this information being cached?

Thanks for any information!!

Ling,

It's cached in the configuration directory. Running eclipse.exe with
-clean will clean the configuration. (Apparently you can also delete
everything but the configuration/config.ini, if you want to make it be
in the same state as when you first installed/unzipped.)

Thanks! But -clean did not remove the feature from the running app. I had
to remove my plugin folder (the one the old link file was pointing to)
