Permanently remove Pivotal tc from STS

I am using STS since a long time and the only feature annoys me is, it creates a new Pivotal tc Server instance in every workspace created and I never use Pivotal tc.

Can anyone tell me how to completely remove Pivotal tc Server from STS installation?

I have tried to update the artifacts.xml file, bundles.info (equinox) and bluntly deleting the features for Pivotal tc but I've never got clean result.

Solution

  • Once you unzipped the distribution it should have a folder with tc-server in it. Simply delete that entire folder and STS will no longer try and create a tc-server install in your workspace.

    For example in my installation it looks like this:

    $ ls -la sts-bundle/ total 20 drwxrwxr-x 5 kdvolder kdvolder 4096 Oct 12 05:47 . drwxr-xr-x 23 kdvolder kdvolder 4096 Nov 6 14:43 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 kdvolder kdvolder 4096 Oct 11 04:03 legal drwxr-xr-x 11 kdvolder kdvolder 4096 Oct 13 07:56 pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.2.8.RELEASE drwxr-xr-x 9 kdvolder kdvolder 4096 Nov 3 15:41 sts-3.9.1.RELEASE

    So simply delete the folder pivotal-tc-server-developer-3.2.8.RELEASE.
