Update... I just uninstalled the GWT SDK, and then the plug-in and applied the changes. Both disappeared from the Installed Software tab.
I restarted Eclipse. Now I have 'Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.4' on the Installed Software tab, but if I select it, the Uninstall button remains disabled. I also have 'Plugin' under Google Update Site for Eclipse 3.4 on the Available Software tab, but if I select it, the Install button remains disabled. I'm a bit stuck for options here.
