With MyEclipse Lite, you have the ability to uninstall functional modules from MyEclipse so you only load the plugins you need. This gives MyEclipse a smaller footprint and removes undesired elements from the UI. MyEclipse 8 has been restructured to be as modular as possible and we have over 30 modules that can be uninstalled and reinstalled as desired.

To uninstall or reinstall a Lite module, simply bring up the MyEclipse Dashboard using Help > Manage MyEclipse Plug-ins... (or MyEclipse > Manage MyEclipse Plug-ins)

The dashboard will show you a list of modules available and their current state. Simply click the Uninstall / Install buttons to uninstall or install a module. For instance, if you don't want to use Tapestry and are not big on Maven, simply uninstall them using the Dashboard and you will not see this functionality when you next start MyEclipse.
