public interface AutoUninstallAction extends UninstallAction
If you write an install action that wants to be automatically invoked in the uninstaller to revert its changes, you can additionally implement this interface. The additional methods of this interface give you access to a persistent store that can be used at install time to save information about any performed changes. At uninstall time, you can use the persistent store to load this information again. Each instance of an action has a separate persistent store.Auto-uninstall actions have their
uninstall
method invoked by the "Uninstall files" action before any files are uninstalled and in the reverse order in which they were invoked in the installer. If no "Uninstall files" action is present in the uninstaller, theuninstall
method will not be called.Note: If you add an auto-uninstall action to the uninstaller, its
AutoUninstallAction
interface will be ignored.
