Re: [p2-dev] Remove plugins from installed feature

The message returned by the application is erroneous. It should say that this operation failed.... Please open a bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Equinox

The reason why uninstalling junit is not possible is because the jdt feature strictly includes the org.junit bundle and as such it can not be removed.

Generally speaking, features represent just one potential grouping of bundles for a particular usecase and are therefore not usable in all circumstances. If you find yourself willing to remove this bundle or that bundle,then it is a good sign that you should have your own feature or talk to the owner of the feature to break it down further
