[Nick Boldt <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Removing plugins is not a recommended approach to uninstalling software 
in Eclipse. If you just want the platform binary runtime, install that.

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4-200806172000/winPlatform.php#PlatformRuntime

Once that's installed you can selectively add features (eg., support for 
CVS, plugin development, or java development), and later uninstall them 
using Eclipse's built-in plugin management (Install Manager).

For more on the Install Manager, see:
