I'm developing an eclipse plugin that when the user clicks a button, another plugin is uninstalled programmatically.

I tried:
Bundle b1 = Platform.getBundle(bundleId);
b1.uninstall();


The plugin stops to work. However, the graphical elements are not deleted.

Then I tried:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9927400/how-do-i-easily-query-a-running-eclipse-for-its-installed-features?rq=1

I could find the corresponding IInstallableUnit

Then I use the following code:
private void scheduleUninstallOperationJob(
	        Collection<? extends IVersionedId> toUninstall) 
	{
	    OperationFactory oFactory = new OperationFactory();
	    Collection<URI> repos = null;
	    UninstallOperation op = null;
	    try {
	        op = oFactory.createUninstallOperation(toUninstall, repos, null);
	    } catch (ProvisionException e) {
	        e.printStackTrace();
	    } 
	    IStatus result = op.resolveModal(null);
	    if (result.isOK()) {
	        op.getProvisioningJob(null).run(null);
	    }
	}

In this case, both plugin and UI are not deleted.

Finally, somebody can help me and say how to uninstall or even disable an eclipse plugin programmatically from another plugin.

Thanks in advance.

Uninstalling a bundle should be all that is needed. If the bundle exports packages then you likely will want to perform a refreshBundles opertation [1]. But it sounds like the e4 UI layer is not recognizing that the bundle with the UI elements is going away. I would ask this on the eclipse e4 forum.
