Make installer complain more strongly about installing over old verions ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-1088 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1088 Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: installer Affects Versions: 2.1.1 Reporter: James Livingston Assignee: Denis Golovin Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.0.1.GA, 4.0.0.M1 Original Estimate: 0 minutes Remaining Estimate: 0 minutes If you have a copy of, for example, JBDS 2.0.0 installed to /opt/jbds and then try to install 2.1.0 to that location it gives you the "Are you sure you want to overwrite that folder" warning, the same as for any existing directory. It would be good if it detected that there was an older copy of JBDS installed to that location, and gave you a stronger "You can't upgrade by installing over the top" warning. Installing 2.1.0 over the top of 2.0.0 leaves you with a mixed up installation, with some versions of plugins from the old version and some from the new version.
