Re: [platform-ui-dev] Errors in the UI after deinstalling components

Lars, this was attempted in the past but reverted due to the following workflow:

I install a new eclipse and open it against my *existing* workspace (so I see these error 'views'). Now I install all the plugins I need and restart...

If the original start removed the views then after installing my required plugins my presentation has been trashed; now they just turn back into 'real' views...this really turns folks off when they 'upgrade' to the new eclipse (the worst possible time..."wtf, they've trashed my WS again!"). This is a very common scenario since most users augment some EPP package with extra plugins.

Note that this is in some ways tied to the whole 'what packages should we have' issue...How about implementing the ability for someone to 'provision' a new eclipse install *based on their existing install* ?

Onwards,
Eric

Hi,

if the user deinstalls a plug-in which used to be in the current perspective we display an error, as in the following example.

Inline-Bild 1

IMHO this is undesired, as this gives a bad user experience. 

If nobody objects and thinks that is great feature of our IDE, we can try to fix this also in Bug 445663. IMHO we should at least remove parts for the current UI for which the bundlessclass cannot be found anymore in the current runtime.

Best regards, Lars
