<h4>Removing a link file does not uninstall the corresponding extension location</h4>

<h4>Extension location is lost if the install path changes</h4>
1067
<p>If you have an extension location in an Eclipse-based application that is connected
1068
to your configuration via a link file, the extension is not removed when the link is deleted.
1069
The workaround is to move or delete the extension location, and restart the platform
1070
with the -clean command line argument. You can then restore or move back the 
1071
extension location content to its original location (bug <A HREF="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=232094">232094</A>).

<h4>Feature patches can only be installed from Eclipse 3.4-based update sites</h4>
1074
<p>Feature patches can only be installed from update sites designed for Eclipse 3.4 or greater.
1075
Specifically, the update site must have the necessary metadata for Equinox p2 (a content.xml
1076
or content.jar file). This data can be generated by building an update site using Eclipse 3.4
1077
or newer, or running the p2 metadata generator on an update site built using earlier versions
1078
of the Eclipse SDK. See the help topic <i>Generating p2 metadata</i> for more details on running the p2 metadata
1079
generator (bug <A HREF="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=244483">244483</A>).
