Deleting plugins with Bundle.uninstall() [message #465300]

Hi,

When I remove a plugin using the Bundle.uninstall() method, should the associated plugin directory (and all its contents) also be removed as a result of this method? As far as I can see, it is not removed.

Thanks in advance,

Tom.

Uninstall just unloads it from the framework AFAIK

No, bundle.uninstall doesn't do anything with the actual files on disk. It merely means that it's removed from the framework.

Note that if the bundle is in plugins, then next time Eclipse starts (with the update.configurator) it will re-install it.
