FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java Web Start 1.6.0_01
Using JRE version 1.6.0_01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
(from JWS console)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP Pro
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Java web start (JWS) offers the installer-desc
element to identify an installer/uninstaller
for an application. The intent of the installer
is to do any application set-up/pull-down that
can not be handled by the standard JWS behaviour
of caching the classes/resources at 1st launch,
and clearing them at uninstall.
The 'install' side of the installer-desc element
seems to work as advertised, but as has been noted
in the web start forum a number of times*, the
installer is never called at time of 'uninstall'.
* Though none reported successful resolution of
the problem, it also seems no one took it through
to a bug report.
