After enabling the auto update facility I was getting frequent update
notifications. So I just selected the latest features from the available
list and installed them, without any problems. But now I get the "an error
occurred. See the log file" on startup. I suspect there is some conflict
with the installed features.
How do I recover the situation?
I see that a "install.log" files has been created and a "error-
recovery.log" files as well but how do you use these files to uninstall the
updates so that I can get back to a running system?
( I tried to find answers to this on eclipse.org but that site seems to be
just for developers of eclipse, not just users)

Renaming (or deleting) your .eclipse directory should fix it (at least, it
always does for me). Unfortunately you will then need to re-update your
workspace settings to those you prefer, and recreate your projects
(although individual project settings should be preserved).
