Description _ hong_lin 2007-04-24 20:36:58 UTC
build: NB 6.0 daily 20070423 (full installation)

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Install NB 6.0 into default location, C:\Program Files.

2. Remove NB6.0 from "Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs".

3. Check the C:\Program Files folder, "AppServer-b41c" is still exist.

If installer installs both IDE and App Server, uninstaller should uninstall 
both of them as well.

Workaround: Remove App Server program from "Control Panel -> Add or Remove 
Programs".

I'm seeing this as an enhancement request rather than a defect. Bundling AS and
IDE together is a matter of making it easier for the user to download and
install the two products. 

They are still absolutely independent, so why should they have a common
Add/Remove Programs entry?
Comment 2 _ hong_lin 2007-04-25 06:57:46 UTC
I disagree with you.

From the user point of view, if IDE and AppServer come together, they should 
go together.

Lets ask Jano about user experience perspective :)
Comment 4 Mikhail Kondratyev 2007-04-25 08:47:46 UTC
Just want to comment: another engineer was also concerned about this behavior so
we should probably consider this as a bug
Comment 5 jrojcek 2007-04-25 13:28:55 UTC
Bundling glassfish is mostly for users' convenience. It's really a separate piece of software so it should 
have a separate item in the Add/Remove panel on windows.

OTOH, for users' convenience we could offer to uninstall glassfish if the user uninstall NetBeans IDE. I can 
imagine we add a check box into the NetBeans remove dialog saying something like:

[x] Remove also GlassFish Application Server

Comment 6 _ hong_lin 2007-04-25 18:04:42 UTC
Provide the "[x] Remove also GlassFish Application Server" option is good enough.
Thanks.
