Uninstalling a pattern archive
Uninstall the pattern archive to remove a user-defined pattern from the Patterns Explorer view.
Before you can complete this task, you must have completed the following task:
Each user-defined pattern archive has one pattern feature, the name of which is based on the name of the main pattern plug-in. If the name of the plug-in is com.your.company.Test, the name of the pattern feature is com.your.company.Test.Feature_<plug-in version>. If translation was selected by the pattern author, the pattern archive has a second pattern feature, com.your.company.Test.Feature_NL.<plug-in version>. To uninstall a pattern archive you must know the feature name of the pattern archive to ensure that the correct user-defined pattern is removed.
You can uninstall a pattern archive for a user-defined pattern that you have previously installed. Uninstalling a pattern archive removes the associated user-defined pattern from the Patterns Explorer view.
