I'm running Eclipse SDK 3.4.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.6.
Every time I try to install something new through "software updates", the message "The software items you selected may not be valid with your current installation" shows up.
So I'm going to uninstall it and re-install Eclipse.
Should I just erase the Eclipse folder or is there a way to uninstall it?

Launch the Eclipse application and click on Eclipse in the menu bar. Select About Eclipse in the drop-down menu. Click on the Installation Details button in the bottom left corner. In the Installed Software tab, select an Eclipse plugin you want to delete and click on the Uninstall button below the list of the items.
Check-in case you have any more eclipse folders (such as eclipse workspace), delete them too, manually. Go back to the desktop, select the eclipse icon from there, right-click on it, and select “delete”. By doing this, you manually delete all the eclipse files and icons and remove them from your device completely.
The eclipse. ini file is located in the Contents/MacOS folder.
Most apps are in your Applications folder, which you can open by clicking Applications in the sidebar of any Finder window. Or use Spotlight to find the app, then press and hold the Command (⌘) key while double-clicking the app in Spotlight. Drag the app to the Trash, or select the app and choose File > Move to Trash.
Actually Eclipse does create some other files not within it's directory which survive deleting it's directory.
In Snow Leopard, look in your user's account under:
~/Library/Caches/org.eclipse.eclipse~/Library/Preferences/org.eclipse.eclipse.plistNot sure if you need to turn on viewing of hidden files to see those.
