IBM Rational Developer for i

I have used a trial product which had an RDi plugin. The uninstall got rid of most of it but I get a "Class 'com.xxx.xxx.xxx' not found" message in the IDE. Is there a way to remove this? The vendor said to just use a different workspace but I don't want to go through that setup again. Thanks for any help!

Hi Craig, you could try to restart RDi with a -clean. Create a shortcut to the RDi.exe, then select properties, and on the target field, go to the end, add a space and -clean. Then save and restart.

Typically after an un-install it would prompt you for a restart. The -clean will try to clean up unused OSGI info. 

If that does NOT work, you can export your settings, them create a new workspace and import your settings. (I generally export Rational Developer for i -> Configuration files before I install new plugins. Just in case I need to create a new workspace.)

Thanks, Steve!

I could not get the shortcut to save with the -clean added to the target. However, your instructions on the import & export for RDi helped me enough to do that 'correctly' and the 'new' workspace is now good to go. Problem solved!

Thanks!
