Thanks, Adrian. I put the plugin back (via the file system) and got Oxygen working normally again. Then I tried the uninstall routine that you described. When I click Unininstall, the Installed Software window flashes briefly and then closes. Nothing else appears to happen. The plugin is still there. I should note that the Installed Software list shows two different Oxygen plugins (neither of which I can uninstall): This one: oXygen XML Author 12.0.0.v2010100114 com.oxygenxml.author.feature.group And this one: oXygen XML Editor and XSLT Debugger 11.2.0.v2010090711 com.oxygenxml.editor.feature.group On 10/27/2010 06:27 AM, Adrian Buza wrote:
Hello,
You probably installed Oxygen via the Eclipse update site but afterwards removed it directly from the file system without uninstalling it. As a result Eclipse still believes it's installed. Try to uninstall Oxygen from Help -> About -> Installation Details, Installed Software. Then try again to install it from the update site.
If this doesn't work, you can download the appropriate Eclipse plugin zip distribution from the web site: http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_author.html (Eclipse tab) and unpack the zip file in the Eclipse dropins folder.

I need to reinstall Oxygen Author 12, in Eclipse 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 10.4. I have completely cleaned any traces of Oxygen from my Eclipse installation --a file search reveals no files with any form of the string "oxygen" anywhere in the file system. I have restarted Eclipse with the -clean option. No Oxygen-related options or settings are available anywhere in the Eclipse UI. However, when I try to use Help
Install New Software to install Oxygen, Eclipse refuses on the grounds that Oxygen is already installed. What am I doing wrong?
