equinox uninstall eclipse features by command line [message #1754238]

Installing eclipse features by command line is well known.

However, I have a problem to uninstall eclipse features by command line.

I use the following command.

/opt/eclipse/eclipse \
-repository \
download.eclipse.org/releases/neon,\
dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.6,\
pydev.org/updates"
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director \
-uninstallIU \
org.eclipse.egit.feature.group,\
org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group,\
org.eclipse.help.feature.group

The output is the following.

Uninstalling org.eclipse.egit.feature.group 4.4.1.201607150455-r.
Uninstalling org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.21.0.v20160914-0252.
Uninstalling org.eclipse.help.feature.group 2.2.1.v20161124-1400.

However, when I start the eclipse, the plugins still there. Any help?

Just to be clear, by "still there" you mean in Help -> About Eclipse -> Installation Details -> Installed Software it still shows these features present? How did you create this installation?

Also, the folder name of your installation suggests it might be read-only to the users. Are you running this uninstall as root/sudo?
