[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Remove obsolete plugins in new feature versi

[Alex Blewitt <automatic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can't do this with update manager. Also note that it doesn't remove a0.1 or b0.1 either; they're still kept in the plugins/ directory. (This is primarily to support rollback if the update doesn't work, or you experience problems with the newer version and want to use the old one.)

There isn't a mechanism to allow Update Manager to remove unrequired plugins at this time.
