How can I uninstall Egit feature from Juno?

Question

I am trying to run JUnit test for an eclipse plugin I created. However, the confirmation dialogs from the EGit plugin blocks my perspective from loading up, and hence throws an unnecessary exception on my console for JUnit. I tried looking for possibility to uninstall the plugin, but did not see any such option. How can I disable the Egit plugin?

Answer 1

The plugins are not easy to remove/disable in eclipse. But you can remove jar files of that plugins to remove a plugin.

In Linux or Mac, open the Terminal, and cd to eclipse folder.

mkdir disabled disabled/features disabled/plugins

mv features/*egit* disabled/features/
mv plugins/*jgit* disabled/plugins/
mv plugins/*egit* disabled/plugins
