How to fix corrupted Eclipse Indigo JEE?
I have installed the following plugins in indigo eclipse in the following order to start spring development
- Spring Toolbox
- M2E (Maven)
after these two installations, it was throwing jira not installed error, so I installed the following plugin.
- Atlassian Jira connector
After installing Jira Connector, Eclipse is launched showing the following error:
Remote Jira connector. These problems are still shown. Any help would be appreciated.

Eclipse has serious structural problems with uninstalls that haven't actually been fixed even by the last moon. But don't worry, there are many workarounds.
What you can do now and in similar situations:
1.
Even if you can uninstall something, you will not revert to the previous state before installation.
Because of this, I usually use Eclipse with a trick: I keep my main Eclipse install directory in a git repository , and so I can always switch with one command. But this is just a trick.
2.
There is a good chance that only your workspace directory is damaged, not your Eclipse. In this case, you can fix the problem by reinitializing your workspace: take a backup, delete everything, re-create the workspace directory, and finally import your projects again.
(For similar reasons, it is also useful to use workspace metadata in a git repository.)
3.
In Eclipse, menu items are created by modules. If the eclipse plug-in is installed, it creates internal configuration changes that create menu items.
After rebooting, Eclipse tries to restore your gui and thus reopen its panels. But if the module is also removed, then its panels are not restored, which leads to your problem.
So, just close the bad panels and try to open them again. Sometimes it also works.
In short: recreate your workspace, this will probably help. And next time use Eclipse with good and frequent backups (I suggest git).
