Frequently Asked Questions - JUtils ToString Generator Plugin for Eclipse

# I installed the plugin properly but can't see it anywhere:
This can happen sometimes. All you have to do is close the IDE and start it using the -clean option from command line.

# How do I use the -clean option?
-clean is a command line switch for the eclipse.exe executable. To use this, you have to open your command prompt/shell and navigate to the Eclipse installation directory. From there, type either eclipse clean or eclipse -clean. That should start the IDE.

# How will the -clean option help?
Eclipse stores lot of workspace specific data in local file system for better performance. When a new version of some plugin is installed, it's quite possible that the new version is using the plugin specific data such as preference stores created by the older version. To clean this up and aid recreation of preference stores, the -clean option is recommended.
