Re: [equinox-dev] uninstalling plugins

Yes.  Basically any stopping, uninstalling
or updating of a bundle will not be responded to by the UI.  This
is certainly a temporary situation.  The intention is that all of
the RCP plugins be able to respond appropriately to plugins going away.
 The particularly difficulty here is that the UI is large/complex
and never expected to have to do this sort of cleanup.

How about updates to plugins? Does it
still count as uninstall + install ?

Just wanted to let people know that the UI team feels it is unlikely they
will be able to make the UI fully dynamic aware for 3.0.  In particular,
they likely will not be able to correctly handle plugins (extensions) going
away.  They expect addition to be fully supported.
