Removing Subclipse from Eclipse

I got the following error while installing subclipse 1.6 after trying 1.8 (which failed to sync my projects):


Your original request has been modified.
  "CollabNet Merge Client" will be ignored because a newer version is already installed.
  "Subclipse (Required)" will be ignored because a newer version is already installed.
  "Subclipse Integration for Mylyn 3.x (Optional)" will be ignored because it is already installed.
  "Subversion Client Adapter (Required)" will be ignored because a newer version is already installed.
  "Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter (Required)" will be ignored because a newer version is already installed.
  "Subversion Revision Graph" will be ignored because a newer version is already installed.
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

  Software currently installed: Subclipse (Required) 1.8.3 (org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.feature.group 1.8.3)
  Only one of the following can be installed at once:
    Subversion Client Adapter 1.8.0 (org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter 1.8.0)

  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: SVNKit Client Adapter (Not required) 1.6.15 (org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.svnkit.feature.feature.group 1.6.15)
    To: org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter [1.6.12,1.7.0)
  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: Subclipse (Required) 1.8.3 (org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.feature.group 1.8.3)
    To: org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter [1.8.0,1.9.0)





Here are the steps I took to uninstall subclipse:

Eclipse > Help > Install New Software > Available Software Sites ...

select subclipse and click "Remove"



Open Terminal; list and delete all subvesion jar files

$ cd /Applications/ide/eclipse/plugins [specific to your system]

$ ls | grep org.tigris.subversion | xargs rm

Even that did not allow full uninstallation and i decided to re-install Eclipse.

    You cannot install Subclipse 1.8.x because you have the SVNKit plugin for 1.6.x installed and there is not a version of that plugin for 1.8.

    To uninstall plugins go to the About dialog and click on Configuration. All you did was remove the places where Eclipse looks for new plugins to install.

    For Android its the other way round (especially on ICS) - on tablets I find it mediocre but love it on phones. Have yet to see a flagship ICS tablet when my opinion might change. Claw Digital Review
