How do I disable MercurialEclipse? I don't really use it anymore and it causes startup delays, but I can't find any option to turn it off.

(note: this is Eclipse 3.4.2)

The best way is to disconnect your eclipse project from mercurial right click on your project goto team -> disconnect from mercurial....

thats all

You can try and customize your current perspective.
You would then un-select any command and shortcut related to that plugin.

Another solution would be to un-install the plugin (Help - About Eclipse - Installation details - first tab)

When looking at Eclipse 3.4 news and noteworthy, you could try and revert to a configuration where that plugin wasn't installed:

The UI for performing installation and updates is completely new in 3.4. The new UI is accessed using Help > Software Updates.

Try the button "Revert configuration"

Or try:

Help -> Software Updates -> "Installed Software": the old location for the first screenshot of this answer.

Note the codeturner comments:

If you uninstall, you'll have to re-import each of these projects into your workspace to remove all MercurialEclipse settings.
Otherwise, Eclipse will throw errors in its error log

  • you're running 3.5, I think, and I am not – Jason S Apr 27 '10 at 13:51
  • @Jason S: this should work in 3.4 even though those pages has been moved in 3.5 (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5-200906111540/eclipse-news-all.html) – VonC Apr 27 '10 at 13:51
  • In the about box, I see Feature Details, Plugin Details, and Configuration Details. There is no uninstall button. – Jason S Apr 27 '10 at 13:53

Is there a problem uninstalling the plugin/feature? You can do this under "About Eclipse SDK → Installation Details".

I found how to uninstall in 3.4.2.

You need to do Help -> Software Updates... -> "Installed Software" tab, select the plugin, then click the "Uninstall..." button.

(Still, this is kind of extreme, and takes several minutes... it would be nice if there were just a way to temporarily enable/disable.)

The other option would be to remove HG installation from your OS. So eclipse won't be able to start it.
