Is there a way to disable an Eclipse plugin without actually uninstalling it?
(Eclipse 3.3 had a "disable" button but this is now missing from Eclipse 3.4+.)

That page is for some older version of Eclipse, I can't see an option to disable a feature / plugin in Eclipse 3.5.

As mentioned in bug 224145#c34,
I don't see any way to enable stuff except for what is in the p2 UI. And I see no update stuff there at all - not even in the list of things to install.
p2 don't even seem to have enable/disable functionality, only install/uninstall.
In other world, in the P2 universe (since Eclipse 3.4), there doesn't seem to be a "disable" process, and the word was not used in the Ganymede Plan or Galileo Plan.

A:
Some plugins allow controlling their load-on-startup behavior. These will be listed in the preferences, under General → Startup and Shutdown. If the plugin provides view, you will need to close those views (in all perspectives) for this to work.
