Description tonybeckham 2007-04-16 18:52:46 UTC 
System Info:
Mac OS X Intel
Java 1.5.0_07

When I use the installer to uninstall the IDE and SOA tools pack the uninstaller
runs and completes in just one second and nothing was uninstalled.  To
workaround I run the uninstaller (uninstall.command) found in the glassfish
directory, this removes GF and SOA tools, then I run the uninstall.command found
in the netbeans directory to remove the IDE.

Comment 4 tonybeckham 2007-04-16 20:02:22 UTC 
The original issue was using installer build 20070412 and the few days prior
builds.  Using the latest installer,
netbeans-6.0-nightly-200704161405-full-macosx-x86.command the uninstall does
actually work but there there is a NPE execption during uninstall.

Some fixes were applied to the uninstallation procedure. After that I cannot
reproduce the described behavior, hence I assume the issue was resolved as part
of these cheanges. Please reopen if still reproducible.

-> FIXED
