Sometimes, for some reason, the "Uninstall" button is disabled in Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details (For example, after installing Aptana plugin, which forces the use of an older installer in Eclipse Galileo).
How is it possible to remove these plugins with "Uninstall" disabled ?
To remove a plug-in you need to remove the JAR file from the "plugins" directory, located in your Eclipse installation directory. Under Indigo/3.7 the "Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Installed Software tab > Uninstall..." option works.
But even if i reinstalled that findbug is not visible :( It's moved in Neon to Eclipse > About Eclipse > Installation Details. You also have to search in Installed Software, not Plug-ins, to remove it (even though it's listed in both places).
To uninstall you should either go on and remove the org. python. pydev* from eclipse/plugins and eclipse/features or you can go to help > software updates > manage configuration, choose the PyDev plugin and disable it (after that, to completely remove it, you must restart Eclipse and only then select it for uninstall).
Try run eclipse as administrator. It worked for me.
