Re: [cdt-dev] CDT8.4 + 8.5 - all debug buttons become disabled

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it would be helpful if you confirmed Liviu's latest findings.
The problem is triggered by plugin:
  ilg.gnuarmeclipse.debug.gdbjtag.restart
The idea would be to remove just that plugin and see if the
problem disappears.

Since the plugin is part of a larger feature that we don't want to 
remove, I only found a way to remove it by using the osgi console.

0- make a copy of your installation as we will modify it
1- start eclipse from a shell with the -console flag (this flag should go 
before the -vmargs flag if you use it)
2- when eclipse prompts you for a workspace, don't select one right away
but instead go back to the console where you will see an "osgi>" prompt
3- type 'ss' (not quotes) to get the list of plugins.  Find the one above and
remember its id e.g. 386
4- type 'uninstall 386'
5- then select your workspace and let eclipse start
6- the problem, hopefully will no longer happen

Thanks for offering to do this.

Marc
