Thanks, Peter! And even quicker... you can highlight all of the
WOLips items and use right-click to uninstall them all. Two will be
left behind, probably due to dependencies as you said, so if you
click no when it asks if you want to restart Eclipse you can go back
and do it again. That gets rid of all of them, and after you restart
you can install fresh.
