Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-1047:
-------------------------------------------
What is the attachment ?
And its easy to install again, just use a different directory or if you just want to test the server setup then just use a new workspace since JBDS will install the servers configured in the installer on every new workspace.
About running as root then I don't understand why root is special - its because you are using a different user to uninstall that you used for installing I guess ?
But we could at least try and warn you are running the install as root in case it was something you did accidentally.

> 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.
