-p2 directory call with -uninstallIU [message #642206] Tue, 30 November 2010 11:53 Go to next message

I recently installed a feature and it's plugins to a p2-enabled RCP
application with success: Both the feature and the plugins are installed
as expected in the plugins and feature folder of the RCP app.
As suggested I added the ".feature.group" string as IU identifier

After this I tried an uninstall process, where I changed only the
following lines:

1) I replaced the call argument

-installIU someid.feature.group

by

-uninstallIU someid.feature.group

2) I did not list the -repository argument

This deinstallation seems to have succeeded (no error message or log
file) and as expected the before installed feature is no longer existing
in the features folder. *But* the plugins are still part of the plugins
folder. Is this a known and expected behaviour? Personally I would
strongly appreciate to have the plugins removed as well. Is there some
additional call argument necessary to realize that?

Thanks & Greetings from Bremen,

hi,
it's generally problematic. In the past, they were kept to don't break other still installed plugins, that may depend on them.
Eclipse was able to decide to remove them, but only after another run. I think this is still the case.

Let me refine my question then: Do you suggest a second
uninstall run with the *exact* same number of parameters as in the first
step? I thought I tried that and this was not successful, because the
bundles had already been uninstalled. I look into this a second time,
though.

Afaik, things should be removed by the p2 gc which runs as part of any
p2 operation. It may be possible to only run the gc...
