unable to uninstall plugin with p2 [message #331987]

hello,

I added a plugin using the dropin feature:
eclipse/dropins/myplugin/eclipse|
features/..
pluglins/..

then I tried to unsinstall it:
1) tried using software updates, but when I select the feature the
unistall button is not active
2) removed from dropins, but when I restart eclipse the plugin is still
there (where...?)

I need to uninstall it else I must downgrade to 3.3 sob :-(

thanks,

Luca

Try restarting Eclipse with the -clean option after you remove a plugin
from the dropins folder.

Hope this helps,
Eric

perfect thanks!

the other solution was upgrade the plugin using software updates, then the
uninstall button became available.

but your solution is better obviously!
