Uninstalling on the Microsoft Windows Platform

Uninstalling on Solaris OS and Linux Platforms

Use the Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 uninstaller to uninstall this software from your Solaris OS or Linux system.

Caution - Do not attempt to attempt to uninstall any part of the Java Studio Enterprise software by deleting files. Failure to use the uninstaller will likely result in a corrupted system.

To Uninstall the Software

1. Shut down the IDE.

2. Change to the java-studio-install-dir/bin/ directory and start the uninstaller by typing:

% ./uninstall.sh

The uninstaller starts and the Welcome screen appears.

3. Click Next and follow the instructions in the uninstaller.

A successful uninstallation of the Java Studio Enterprise software leaves an empty java-studio-install-dir directory.
