Re: [wtp-dev] How do you remove an installed plug-in

[Saminda Wijeratne <samindaw@xxxxxxxx>]

I think DTP features are part of what WTP is. Therefore removing them 
would mean your eclipse would no longer be the WTP enabled, therefore by 
default the uninstalling of such features are disabled. But as I know 
most plugins do not get activated until they are first called in to 
action. This is the Eclipse-LazyStart setting in eclipse plugins. 
Therefore eventhough the plugin is installed on your system the worst 
thing that it can affect you with is waste of few MB of disk space. The 
processor usage or the memory usage is not significant enough to worry 
if you are not using the plugin.

If you really want to remove the plugins permanently, I guess what you 
should do is just delete the feature files and the plugins from the 
feature and plugins folders in eclipse (make sure you are deleting the 
correct files).
