1. Install "JavaScript Debugger" plugin. 2. Restart IDE. 3. Uninstall "JavaScript Debugger" plugin. 4. Close IDE, remove userdir and start IDE. Result: "JavaScript Debugger" plugin is still here. So if customer wants to start IDE with fresh userdir, customer have to uninstall plugin, restart IDE, close IDE and only then remove IDE and start IDE. It is inconvenient.
In step 4 you have to let the IDE restart. You cannot delete the userdir in between. I think when you uninstall there is something queued in the user dir. And when the IDE restarts that is when the module is really uninstalled and recorder as such. That is how the Plugin Manager works. I think you will see the same behavior with any other NetBeans plugin.
So, we can't do anything, right? I'm asking because it is quite inconvenient to restart IDE, this is an additional step.
