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.
