I installed a plugin for viewing json files, its the "json tool" by sweetlemonade.

Anyway, after installing it I tried to view a json file (very large file) which I thought the plugin might be able to handle. Well, eclipse crashed when I did this. Now I can't get eclipse to start again. it fails when it gets to "loading org.sweetlemonade.eclipse.json"

I've searched for answers on stackoverflow but the accepted answers include using "p2 director" to uninstall the plugin via command line. The only problem is the answer is for an old version of eclipse. I'm using eclipse mars an can't find an install for "p2 director" anywhere.

How can I uninstall this plugin manually and get eclipse to run again?

Did you try to start eclipse with a different workspace?
