Deactivate the plug-in¶
Once the plug-in is installed, Discord Rich Presence is automatically started on Eclipse startup. As a result, Discord displays Playing Eclipse IDE as a status message as soon as Eclipse IDE is opened. This behavior may not be desirable but can be easily deactivated.
Deactivate occasionally¶
The plug-in provides a preference to deactivate its behavior:
- Open Eclipse Preferences (
Window
>Preferences
) - Open the plug-in’s page (
Discord Rich Presence
) - Uncheck Activate Rich Presence Integration
- Click on Apply
From that time on, Discord won’t be notified anymore by Eclipse IDE. In order to re-activate Rich Presence, follow the steps above and check Activate Rich Presence Integration again.
Deactive the plug-in for a long time¶
While convenient, the previous method is not really optimized. Indeed, even if no Rich Presence is shown on Discord the plug-in is still activated and is notified each time a new editor opens, which may cause a little overhead.
Follow the steps below to completely deactivate the plug-in:
- Open Eclipse Preferences (
Window
>Preferences
) - Open the Startup and Shutdown page (
General
>Startup and Shutdown
) - Uncheck Discord Rich Presence for Eclipse IDE
- Reboot Eclipse IDE
From that time on, Discord won’t be notified anymore by Eclipse IDE. In order to re-activate Rich Presence, follow the steps above and check Discord Rich Presence for Eclipse IDE again then reboot the IDE.
