Addendum: Windows Registry Even though Eclipse isn't "installed" like a regular Windows application, there are still a few entries that get written to the system registry.
Improve this answer. There are probably a lot more locations, depending on how the IDE is configured. As far as I understand the ". I don't know much about that or how it is configured, if you have more information about it feel free to add it. Is this answer a joke? My eclipse kept getting stuck so i went and tried uninstalling, and after reading At least eclipse does not write to system registry i cringe, especially after seeing this: snipboard.
Lorenzo Well "The installer just automates what you'd otherwise do manually. It does not register anything in your system registry" is what Eclipse developers said about the topic a few years ago. This answer is not a joke but I actually hope that the complexity of uninstalling everything manually shows how out of touch their statement has become.
Good to know that it actually does write something to the registry, maybe that can be used as argument to convince them that an automated uninstaller is needed eventually. I'll include information about the registry in the answer later.
Overall, i never trust uninstallers and what companies say; that's why i use RevoUninstaller to remove programs; that's also how i found these registry entries and know not to trust uninstallers or companies. I recommend to use this because it avoids you having to manually search and remove entries by hand and it does a pretty good job in finding a lot of entries based on scan mode there might be falsepositives so always verify — Lorenzo.
Anyway, I might try it on another machine again, will do that. But at the moment, I think I am going to use IntelliJ. Show 5 more comments. Vinay Vinay 1, 3 3 gold badges 15 15 silver badges 34 34 bronze badges. Avinash Kumar Avinash Kumar 75 4 4 bronze badges. Hope this helps.
