title: How to uninstall plugins in Eclipse 3.4.X or higher
body: <p>The GUI for managing plugins in Eclipse got a bit of an overhaul in version 3.4.0.
  This GUI is accessed via the &quot;Software Updates...&quot; option in the Help menu.</p>
  <p>The option to remove the selected Mylyn plugin is greyed out. In fact, this is true of virtually every installed plugin. I know that the Mylyn plugins are optional, so why amn't I provided with an option to remove them?</p>
