hi,

there seems to be a problem with uninstalling plugins on the 3.0 m6 build. i
installed a plugin and then i uninstall the plugin by deleting the
corresponding directories from the features and plugins dir. but then i have
a problem restarting. it seems the .registry file is corrupted somehow. i
manage to restart by deleting the .registry file but all the workspace info
is now gone. is there a utility to edit the .registry file in cases like
this. here is the stack trace in .log :
