[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3010) Installer Error when folder contains JBDS already

[Denis Golovin (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3010?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12960926#comment-12960926 ] 

Denis Golovin commented on JBDS-3010:
-------------------------------------

It says:

!JBDSInstallWarning.png! 

Good catch! This is not correct message anymore. It comes form old installer when it was just copying files to target directory. Now it works a bit different under the hood. Currently it uses Eclipse p2director to install eclipse based product form installer.jar file in target location and in case there is previous installation it basically does update instead of fresh installation. It leads to problem you reported.

Possible solution would be to show different message explaining that installation supported only into empty/new folders and let proceed further only when empty/new target location provided.
