    I followed the instructions in the FAQ to uninstall pydev from eclipse, but I aver I remove the two plugins, I still have the pydev perspective available, and I'm still gettingthe nag screen every now and then? HOw to do I completely remove pydev and all of its features?

      Another choice is deleting all the folders org.python.pydev.* and com.python.pydev.* under eclipse/plugins and eclipse/features (although it's strange that it didn't work for you in the install dialog).

      Cheers,

      I deleted all the features and plugins that had "pydev" in their name (there were none in the first place), and I'm still getting the nag screen and am able to view the pydev perspective?

      I'm running eclipse 3.4

        Did you restart eclipse? If that's not the case, you're probably looking in the wrong features/plugins (do you have more than 1 eclipse install?) -- there's no way pydev can be running without the folders/jars related to pydev in features/plugins (at least not after a restart).

        Cheers,

        Fabio

      Ok, I found out the problem. It seems that the plugins were located in my User profile, in an .eclipse folder. Its interesting that they were put there, rather than in the eclipse program folder....
