I am working on an eclipse plugin. After some marketing people got in the way, I need to rename my plugin. So I went ahead and opened the plugin.xml in eclipse and changed the name and ID in the overview TAB.
Then, when I try to launch eclipse to see everything is working, it dumps a whole lot of prints about not being able to resolve plugin (I removed the name of the old plugin for IP reasons, sorry):
!ENTRY org.eclipse.jface 4 0 2014-07-02 14:19:08.885

Any idea on how to clean it? I tried the eclipse project clean but it didn't help...
Thanks, Oren
The only thing that worked for me was to remove the workspace folder that Eclipse stores its files in, and then re-opened Eclipse, and had it default to that same path with a clean start. I had opened a new version of Eclipse, which caused my issue. So it was still using the same configuration the previous version had, and was probably a little more complex than changing a single configuration setting.
