Uninstalling Eclipse SVN Subversive Plugin

Here http://www.wisdomandwonder.com/article/1216/uninstall-subversive they say you must manually remove some jars, but in a comment they also say to do "Help/About Eclipse Platform/ Installation Details/ " and look for Subversive


I get
"Subversive SVN Connectors" cannot be fully uninstalled because other installed software requires it. The parts that are not required will be uninstalled."

and also
"Subversive SVN Team Provider (Incubation)" cannot be fully uninstalled because other installed software requires it. The parts that are not required will be uninstalled.

Of course telling you WHICH other software requires it would be overkill :o(

I also uninstall SVNKit1.3.5 (it's polarion, so die!
SVN Kit http://www.svnkit.com connector for the Eclipse Subversive. Compatible with SVN 1.6.x.)

At the end I am left with:

org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector.svnkit16_2.2.2.I20110124-1700.jar
org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector_2.2.2.I20110124-1700.jar


I move them to a c:/tmp directory and I restart Eclipse.

I hope I got rid of all the Subversive plugin.

Now, Help/Install new Software/ http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
and I select everything, and here comes the Tigris tribe.
