Description DJ Houghton CLA 2011-05-13 08:18:08 EDT 
Cloned to track released into 3.6.x maintenace branch.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #323887 +++

Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.6

When a feature is chosen to be uninstalled, update manager checks whether this action would remove the main eclipse feature and doesn't allow it if it would damage the workbench.
P2 doesn't have this function. It allows any feature to be removed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an eclipse sdk
2. Open the about dialog and installation history
3. Select the SDK and uninstall it
4. Restart when the sdk asks for it
5. The workbench can't be started any more
