Hello MyEclipse Support:
When I select Help/About Eclipse Platform/<MyEclipse icon> I see that there are two version of every MyEclipse feature installed: 3.8.0 and 3.8.2.
Is the normal? fixable (i.e., can I remove the 3.8.0 somehow)? a problem?
Thanks.
No, it’s not normal. You should only show 3.8.2 installed. How did you perform the initial installation and how did you upgrade to 3.8.2?
It’s ok, I had a number of “legacy” directories around in the MyEclipse installation tree (don’t know why these had remained, since I always followed installation instructions, AFAIK). Thanks.
Actually, legacy *directories* are normal. Each update brings the plugins that changed, but all the old ones remain on disk. This is simply the way the Eclipse update mechanism works so you can choose to roll back to a prior release. But you reported additional features listed in

This is a completely different thing and is not caused by having multiple versions of the product under the installation location.

Hi Scott,
This is probably caused by not uninstalling a previous version by disabling the extension and removing the directory, only modifying the links folder link file instead to point to the new MyEclipse directory. (Maybe combined with reusing workspaces with newer and newer Eclipse milestone installations.)
(I have this same situation, but it does not make any problem, except of not being able to properly uninstall either version of the MyEclipse Extension)
Regards,
Robert

That would explain it. As would running both double-click installers without uninstalling. Good point. Thanks for the insight.
