I want to use the preview of cfeclipse 1.4.5, but need to first uninstall 1.4.4, however the uninstall button is greyed out when I select CFEclipse from the Installed Software list. I hope I have just missed something simple.

I'm also running Juno on another box and this uninstall/installs just fine, no issue...

Any help would be much appreciated.

I manually removed it and it seems to be fine to install/update. However I would still like to know why there was no uninstall option. Appears this is not just limited to CFEclipse... Looks like it might have more to do with eclipse 3.6.2 or some feature basterdized by IBM Data Studio...

Lee,

It's problematic to answer without knowing more about IBM Data Studio, I'm afraid, but it seems you already quite well pinpointed where the problem lies and it's not CFEclipse. I'd recommend trying out their forums or mailgroup.

Similar to your experience with normal Juno, when I was installing CFEclipse on STS (SpringSource ToolSuite - their 'version'/'branding' of Eclipse) the uninstall button was there, same for usual Eclipse (Indigo - Helios).

pozdrawiam,
Tomasz Borek

Thanks Tomasz!
 
Apparently this has nothing to do with cfeclipse and everything to do wtith eclipse 3.6.2.  Simply put it is a limitation of 3.6.2, "How do I remove a plugin" . I don't understand all the inner workings of why it is an issue I just know it is.  Only reason I'm using an outdated version of eclipse is the need for data studio 3.1.1.
 
Cheers
Lee
