Note that with v2.1.3, the v2.1 Geronimo server adapter feature provides server adapters for both the v2.0.x and v2.1.x Geronino servers. Previously, v2.0.x and v2.1.x server adapaters were provided by separate features. Partly to simplify things, these features were combined into one.

Uninstall does not work well on Ganymede and Galileo, especially for GEP. It will uninstall GEP, but then you can't reinstall it, as it doesn't really get uninstalled. The only way to reinstall GEP in Ganymede is to reinstall Ganymede itself! It's the same for Galileo. See Eclipse Bugzilla 244935 for details, and hopefully a fix soon!
