Description Snjezana Peco CLA 2015-10-20 08:31:55 EDT 
Steps to reproduce:

1) install a feature with a view
You can use the attached update site containing the 'Sample view' view created by the Eclipse plugin wizard.
2) restart Eclipse
3) remove the feature installed in step 1
You will see the view with a missing icon still exists in Window>Show view

See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20984 for more detail.

Comment 2 Thomas Schindl CLA 2015-10-20 08:42:56 EDT 
This behavior is expected/desired and follows what happened in 3.x - if we do what you request we would destroy workspace layouts while you are upgrading from one version to another.

Take the following example:
* I had Mars.0 installed with CDT and arrange my views in a very special way
* I download Mars.1 (without CDT)
* I open a workspace with CDT-Views and find out that I've forgotten to install CDT

if we would have removed all the CDT-Views we would have destroy all the hard work you put into arranging them. I leave to the components leads to close this bug but for me this is a WONTFIX

ups this is in show view! Then this is a bug but IIRC Lars is already working on a fix for this in another bug.

Should be fixed via Bug 473845
