Hello Folks, After monkeying around with eclipse, I finally got to the point that it is totally useless (the Fedora port) so now I want to completely remove eclipse and issue an complete reinstallation. Here is what I did: 1) rpm --nodeps -e `rpm -qa | grep eclipse` note: there was at least 10-20 packages that was listed and silently removed. 2) I moved /etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage*= to .save (to move this out of the way) 3) yum clean all (I wanted a complete yum cache flush) 4) yum update Only two files (out of 20 or so) appeared: + eclipse-package + eclipse-rcp I thought... something is wrong - ran it anyway, and up! Eclipse logo comes up but missing dependences appears in the user's .eclipse directory log files. So what is the procedure to completely restore elipse to pristine condition? Thanks!
