manually uninstall plugins

hi guys,

i know 8.2 is not supported anymore, but i was wondering whether there was
a way to remove plugins manually - reason being i installed the Netbeans
plugin for creating Jenkins plugins (manually, download, unzip install nbm
files) and this does not show up in the list of installed plugins.

the reason is, i am trying to determine if the plugin itself is faulty and
therefore needs to be reported to the Jenkins dev's, but i cant uninstall
and reinstall to test what the actuall issue is.

thanks in advance
jonathan

Here you go. Well, nodejs but invokable like a shell script:

https://timboudreau.com/files/mergenbm.sh

I use it on my Jenkins server to merge a bunch of external modules into a
built copy of NetBeans.

No remove, but it's fine for adding modules into a build (and removing is
as simple as changing one true to false in the module XML or just deleting
things).

I was just thinking yesterday that I would love some (shell) script or
something to add / remove plugins into an existing build folder (or
user dir).

If you look at your userdir (which is /Library/Application
Support/NetBeans/8.2 on macOS) you should see an update_tracking
folder with some XML files for your plugins. If you look in the XML it
has a list of files that belong to that module and which you can
delete (generally a JAR in module/ and another XML in config/Modules).
