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

[Ted Kuster]

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
