Build Identifier: I20110322-0800

Uninstall using the 'Installed Software' tab of 'Eclipse SDK Installation Details' dialog, does not actually delete the locally installed plugins files. P2 "deregisters" the plugins from the environment, leaving the eclipse\plugins folder content unchanged.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a test Plug-in and feature, and export to local file system as Deployable features.
2. Add Local install site, and install the feature using Help->Install New Software menu.
3. Restart Eclipse, verify both feature and plug-in now added in the respective file system features and plugins folder under eclipse folder.
4. Again select Help->Install New Software menu. Click 'What is already installed?' link in the Install dialog to launch 'Eclipse SDK Installation Details' dialog.
5. Scroll and select the test installed feature, select uninstall button. Once uninstall complete, restart eclipse.
6. Go back to file system eclipse\features and eclipse\plugins folders to verify if both feature and plugin were removed.
Only feature is removed, leaving the eclipse\plugins folder unchanged.
