[oXygen-user] Can't uninstall/reinstall Eclipse plugin

[Adrian Buza]

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.

Regards,
Adrian
