Issue
I have installed a new plugin for eclipse and since then when i opened eclipse after a few seconds it's not responding. Is there a possible way to get rid of this plugin without open eclipse?
Thanks,
Solution
The p2 Director application can do it, but it's not trivial. It's documented (somewhat) at http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html
Another option is to try opening on a brand new workspace; sometimes it's the workspace that causes a problem, not a plug-in by itself.
Final option is to just delete your Eclipse installation (not your workspace), and re-extract a clean copy. Since Eclipse "installation" is just a zip/tar extraction, it's not hard to do. You would just need to re-install any third-party plugins that you already had and wanted to keep.
