      i would like to request a feature, that i can uninstall plugins in the plugin
      center. At the moment the only way I see to uninstall, is to delete the files
      (hpi, ..) by hand.

          It's possible to do this through the console.
          Go into the pluggins section, select the tab for active plugins and uncheck the plugin you don't want active.

          @davidkarlsen: Does that actually uninstall a plugin, or just deactivate it?

          Extending the request:
          The issue is a little bit more complicated than just removing the binaries. It would be great to have the configuration removed as well.

          Another issue are the bundled plugins, that can't be removed at all and need to be disabled when they get bundled.

          @davidkarlsen: This is not the same. The binaries are still there. The idea behind uninstalling is, that the binaries are gone.

          One thing I noticed. Until this is fix the string at /manage should probably be changed from.

          Add, remove, disable or enable plugins that can extend the functionality of Hudson.

          I'd have an option to leave the configuration in case you want to temporarily uninstall the plugin – something I do frequently when debugging odd behavior that crops up. I don't want to lose all the work if I end up bringing the plugin back.
