Select any version of Java older than the current version (Java 8), and click the Uninstall button at the
top
Once you click the Uninstall button, the utility will remove the older version of
Java. If you want to keep your old Java project files, make sure to back up your Java
project files folder (if you have not done so already, that is). Make sure that you back
up your workstation's hard disk drive regularly so that you do not lose any of your
work.
Also make sure that you uninstall all versions of Java; in my case, there were 64-bit
Java 7 update 45 and Java SDK 7u45, used to run or execute IDEs, such as NetBeans
(or Eclipse), that were coded using the Java programming language.
Next, you will want to ascertain if there are any older versions of the NetBeans IDE
on your workstation. In my case, as you can see in
Figure 1-3
,
there was indeed a
NetBeans 7 IDE installation currently on my 64-bit Windows 7 workstation. I selected
this for removal and then clicked the
Uninstall/Change
button, shown at left, which
brought up a custom
Uninstall Summary
dialog, shown at right.
Manufacturers (in this case, the NetBeans development team) can create custom
Uninstall Summary dialogs for their products to use during the uninstall process, as
you can see here. This dialog allows you to select whether you want to uninstall
GlassFish Server 4 and the NetBeans
UserDir Configuration
folder. Because you are
installing new versions of NetBeans and GlassFish, select both check boxes, and then
click the
Uninstall
button.
