Description Allan Godding CLA 2007-12-11 15:40:36 EST 
If all IUs are uninstalled from a profile, the eclipse.exe file stays on disk under that profile's install folder.  Because all of the uninstalled IUs' jar files have been garbage collected, the eclipse.exe has nothing to run.

This seems like a good candidate for the GC to take care of.
Comment 1 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2007-12-11 21:03:38 EST 
GC'ing the eclipse.exe is not possible because it is not refered to from any artifact repository (at least in the current implementation).
Rather, it should simply get deleted when the iu for the lanucher is uninstalled.
This use to work in M3, we should look into that.
Comment 2 Simon Kaegi CLA 2007-12-12 08:55:47 EST 
We're unzipping an artifact here so perhaps we could persist the locations of what we unzipped in the assoicated iu profile property. I'll take a look.
