Disabling Ganymede Plugins
November 20th, 2008 | by jeff |In Ganymede, the Manage Configuration option Eclipse users were used to using is gone. Help->Software Updates is for just that now.
So how do you go about disabling a plugin now? Well the good news is you no longer have to wait 5 minutes for the Manage Configuration window to load!
Ganymede Eclipse now provides a view, the Plug-In Registry, where you can disable crappy plugins like ajdt.
In my case, I was unable to run unit tests in Eclipse until I disabled org.eclipse.ajdt.ui. Why on earth I would need ajdt to run a unit test I have no idea.
FYI, there is a new AJDT update site here. Ajdt 1.6.1 fixed the problem.
