I wanted to test with a code change. How does one do that if one
cannot use a locally built copy of WOLips?
Actually, I am getting stopped by something first. I can uninstall
WOLips in the 'Software Updates' window, by selecting "WOLips",
"WOLips Base", "WOLips Goodies Mac", "WOLips Goodies Win", "WOLips
Third Party Feature" and clicking <Uninstall>. Then when I quit and
re-launch Eclipse, I get an alert:
The Eclipse executable was unable to locate its companion shared
library.
So, I cannot uninstall? I tried upgrading to the latest and then
uninstalling, and I got the same thing?
And why the heck do I have "WOLips Goodies Win"? I am on a Mac OS X
machine. I do not need any Windows cruft. Apparently turning off
parts of an installation is not very easy. It's just easier to give
everyone Windows bits? Hm. So, you can add features like Maven, and
JProfile support and then never turn them off?
