Correct way to remove plugin from Eclipse

Last times, I'm facing problem of removing plugins from Eclipse.

symptoms:

1. if removing thru already installed menu,that can't reinstall correctly and have several perspectives - e.g. for SQL Explorer. (in Open Perspective menu)

2. if removing thru file system - manually from plugins directory,that I'm not certain about what .jars should I remove

The question is, what are the steps that guarantee correct full removing of plugin and what is better, manual or automatic removing?

Share,please,your experience.

Solution

  • I would like to propose my solution,that worked for me.

    It's reverting Eclipse and its plugins versions, to the version just before the plugin was installed.
