Problem:
Generated file is not removed during JRE uninstallation. Thus, when the JRE is reinstalled, the same old settings are still in effect. This may confuses novice users if they try to fix JRE problems by reinstallation.
Solution:
During JRE uninstallation, cleanup the all the JPI trace/log files and property files.
###@###.### 2001-11-05
Fixe to rename any old properties files for the JRE version during JRE installation. Rename $HOME/.java/properties<NODOTVERSION>
to $HOME/.java/_properties<NODOTVERSION>.
This is done on all platforms. Since there is no uninstallation on UNIX
platforms it's done during installation.
