Disable plugins on Eclipse startup

Question

I just installed a plugin for Eclipse, but as a result Eclipse will no longer start. It says \"There was an error\" or some such uninformative message.

How can I start E

Answer 1

You can try moving the plugin from the plugins directory. I don't think there is any "safe-mode" way to start Eclipse.

Once you can boot into Eclipse you can disable plugins individually by going to Help / About Eclipse / Installed software / Installation history and revert your installation.
