I'm wondering how to perfectly remove a plugin from eclipse 3.0. It seems there is no such an option within the IDE.
Thanks.

Delete its folders in the file system. I don't think there is a better way...

Yes, but seems it only enables to uninstall plugins that are downloaded within eclipse.

it's hard to figure out the plugin's packages if it has lots of it with different name spaces.

In that case I think Ilja is right. You have to manually delete the files/folders.
Gabor, A few plugins offer an option in the add/remove programs of Windows. These are generally the ones that come with a full installer.
The plugins that you just unzip into the directory need to be deleted by hand as Ilja said. If you have access to a copy of the zipped version of the plugin, you can see what folders it created that way.
isn't theer a better approach than to delete the plugin from the file system?

I just found a way to uninstall an eclipse (vers 3.5.1) plug-in by going to Help/About Eclipse SDK. Click the "Installation Details" button then uninstall the appropriate plug-in
