Re: [cdt-dev] How to uninstall a single plugin from Linux Tools
|
HI Velimir,
In Neon the EPP changed so individual parts can be uninstalled[1]
because they don't have a single root IU anymore. AFAIK it is not
possible in Mars and before.
The option in older versions, until you upgrade, is to install the
platform version of Eclipse and individually install the parts of the
CDT and other tools you want. That allows you to have only what you
want.
