Question:

How do I uninstall JBuilder 4?

 
Answer:
To uninstall:
  • On Windows
    1. Delete the JBuilder directory (e.g. "C:\JBuilder4").
    2. Delete the ".jbuilder4" and ".jdatastore4" directories. They will be:
      • In your user home directory on Windows NT and 2000 (e.g. "C:\WINNT\profiles\johndoe\.jbuilder4").
      • In the Windows directory on Windows 98 (e.g. "C:\WINDOWS\.jbuilder4").
    3. If you have not installed any other Java 2 products since installing JBuilder, you may want to delete the registry keys:
      • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.3.0
      • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.3.0
      This step is not necessary however.
    4. Remove the JBuilder file associations from Windows Explorer (steps vary by operating system but they will be listed in the "File Types" section).
  • On Solaris and Linux
    1. Delete the JBuilder directory (e.g. "/usr/local/JBuilder4").
    2. Delete the ".jbuilder4" and ".jdatastore4" directories. They will be in your user home directory (e.g. "/home/johndoe/.jbuilder4").
