You have to remove it from inside CF Builder.  Launch CF Builder, click on "Install New Software" on the Help menu.  Once the Install dialog comes up, look for a blue link on the right side, in the lower third of the dialog, that reads "What is already installed?".  Click the link, and another dialog opens.  Select the add-ons you want to uninstall, then click the Uninstall button.

This applies to CF Builder 2.0.1.  If you have not updated CF Builder 2 to the latest, the dialogs may be different.

RLS,

Here is the link to the uninstall section of the Tasktop User Guide: http://help.tasktop.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.tasktop.help.ui/user guide/install-e35.html

It's another way of getting to the same dialog I mentioned before.  However, if selecting the Tasktop item doesn't enable the Uninstall button, I'm not sure what else you can do.

Something else you can try from the same dialog.  Go to the "Installation History" tab.  Browse the history items to see when you installed Tasktop.  You can revert back to a previous configuration (prior to Tasktop installation).  If you added features after you installed Tasktop, you will have to reinstall those features.

RLS,

Are you running the latest version of CF Builder by any chance (2.0.1)?  If not, you might want to download and install it.  It actually uninstalls the previous version of CF Builder (2.0.0) and installs the new version (becuase 2.0.1 uses a newer major build of Eclipse).  This will allow you to start with a "clean slate" when it comes to which add-ons are installed, but it should maintain all of your project settings.

Another idea, although this one could be pretty dangerous.  If you feel comfortable trying this, close CF Builder and:

1. Make a copy of your \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe\ColdFusion Builder 2\features and \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe\ColdFusion Builder 2\plugins folders as a backup. 
2. Make copies of \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info and \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.update\platform.xml as backups.
3. Browse each of those folders from step 1 and find any folders and files with "Tasktop" in the name.  Delete just those files and folders.
4. Open \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info in a text editor and remove lines that have references to Tasktop.
5. Open \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.update\platform.xml in a text editor and remove lines that have references to Tasktop.
6. Launch CF Builder.

If CF Builder wont' run after that, revert the folders and files to the copies you made in steps 1 and 2 above.

Good luck,

-Carl V.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems uninstalling Tasktop. I was able to uninstall Tasktop from ColdFusion Builder 2.0.1 by following these steps (modified slightly from those posted above):

Click on "Install New Software" on the Help menu.  Once the Install dialog comes up, look for a blue link on the right side, in the lower third of the dialog, that reads "What is already installed?".  Click the link, and another dialog opens.  Select only the top-level Tasktop entry (either "Tasktop Dev Pro" or "Tasktop Dev Enterprise") - do not expand it - and then click the Uninstall button.

If that doesn't work for you, you could try first updating to the latest Tasktop version (Help -> Check for Updates) and then trying to uninstall it. If that still doesn't work, I would suggest contacting Adobe's support team as it may be a bug in ColdFusion.

HTH,

It's an Eclipse Plugin similar to Mylyn. It's supposed to be pretty awesome.

That said.  I have had to reinstall CFB a couple of times for various reason, and it has never taken longer than an hour (including config).  Just sayin', it seems that would certainly be easier than fighting with a messed-up plugin install for 2 days.
