Description Hitesh Ghuge CLA 2016-08-03 01:38:08 EDT 
I have test pluginA_1.0 and  pluginA_1.1 both are with minor chnanges.
PluginA_1.0 is installed using archive...

I uninsatll pluginA_1.0 and trying to install pluginA_1.1 using archive. But not working as excepted.

So, I removed entry of plugin from artifact.xml and from plugins folder all depending jars are removed. 
After restarting pc, I install pluginA_1.1 using archive, But not working.

Its working fine when I install using url.

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
