Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3587:
----------------------------------
[~jrichter1] If devstudio installs something via the installer, and requires it, you
can't uninstall it. If you want to cherry-pick the pieces of devstudio you want to
install/uninstall, you should use JBoss Tools.
I believe the error message comes directly from p2, not from Central, so there's not
likely anything we can do here to fix it short of forking p2.
Can you use Plugin Spy or attach a screenshot to show how this message appears?
Uninstalling features from central is misleading if the feature is
required in JBDS

Key: JBDS-3587
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3587
Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: central
Affects Versions: 9.1.0.Beta2
Reporter: Jan Richter
Fix For: 11.0.0.GA
Since some features are both in default JBDS installation and in central, you can try
uninstalling them from central. The uninstall wizard will show a strange cryptic message
saying:
{noformat}"#the selected feature# cannot be fully uninstalled because other
installed software requires it. The parts that are not required will be
uninstalled".{noformat}
That basically means nothing gets uninstalled, but it still requires a restart just for
good measure.
The question is - Can it either be more clear that you can't just uninstall those
features using central, or just allow it?
