Re: [ptp-user] removing old? perspectives

[James Blackburn <jamesblackburn@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a p2-evil (I think). When reconciling new versions of plugins, it persists ghost versions of perspectives with no way to remove.

When my users change the version of product they use, they sometimes end up with phantom perspectives -- even though the feature in question is installed correctly.  I filed a bug here:
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=288758
Screenshot of the issue:

I've asked for pointers as to where the issue might lie so I could take a look, sadly none of the p2 committers have replied :s...

Cheers,
James

Hmmm, good question, because some of them were renamed so the old ones I suppose now look different.
Did you *un*-install the old version of PTP?
Help>Install New Software ... the resulting dialog has a link at the bottom for "What is already installed" and you can uninstall things from that dialog.
You might also restart eclipse with the " -clean " parameter
If you still have problems, then... In particular, what was the previous version of PTP and the new one?

A somewhat off-topic question... I've uninstalled old/installed newer versions of PTP and now when I Open Perspective -> Other, I see old (I guess) perspectives, in brackets, e.g.:  <PTP Debug>, <PTP Runtime>, <C/C++>.  I also have unbracketed/current versions of these:  Parallel Debug, Parallel Runtime, C/C++.  How do I remove the bracketed perspectives from my list?

thanks, Randy_______________________________________________
