Why do I have 6 Instant Messaging icons in my toolbar?
I seem to have a corrupted configuration file somewhere. I have six Instant Messaging buttons or icons in my
workspace. The pulldown gives me "configure" and "close" for each one. Selecting close has no effect. 
I don't use IM in eclipse at all, and would love to get rid of them. I move it to other window sides, but I can't move it off entirely. I'm running Mars eclipse on 64 bit Linux. Thanks! |

This question doesn't sound like it has anything to do with RTC or the Jazz tooling, in which case unless you can clarify where/how RTC is involved, it would be better to post it to an Eclipse forum.
Comments I believe that it is RTC's collaboration feature documented here
https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.team.collaboration.doc/topics/t_instantmessaging.htmlIn my install details plugins tab, it lists IBM as the provider for about a dozen plugins all starting with Synchronous Collaboration, eg Synchronous Collaboration Jabber RCP Core and Synchronous Collaboration Sametime RCP Core (i'm trying to provide a screenshot but the insert image link doesn't work for me). These names all appear in the Eclipse Preferences Instant Messaging configuration. Craig |

Craig, you would by default, if you installed RTC into your Eclipse, see one very small status in the lower right.
I have never seen more than one. In any case, you should be able to disable this here in the preferences 
If that does not work, I am unsure what could be wrong. I would suggest to look into the Eclipse and workspace logs and try if a fresh workspace shows the same. |
