Max Rydahl Andersen updated JBDS-1047:
--------------------------------------
Summary: We should warn if run as root user to avoid problems during uninstall
(was: JBDS 3.0 CR1, can a check be made when running from the command line to make sure
you can't install as root on linux)
Fix Version/s: 3.0.0.CR2
Description:
(updated title to reflect it should be a warning, not error)
When I ran the installer I was not paying attention and ran it as root, it ended up
installed in /usr/local/jbdevstudio3cr1. I then tried to run the uninstaller and was left
with a few items in the Applications -> Programming Main menu as seen in the attached
screen shot. Should we check to see if you are trying to install as root on linux. It
also seemed that I was not able to have any servers available in the server view, although
I am not sure if that is a first time running the cr1 installer error as seemed to have
happened on my mac, where I never run as root. Now that I have installed once there is no
way to test this hypothesis.
