           Summary: Uninstaller should not remove webapps/root
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Native:Packaging
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Tomcat just played a nice trick on me and wired out my webapps/root directory
full of years' worth of digital photography with no recent backups. I am not 
amused.

I was simply trying to upgrade from Tomcat 5.5.1 to 5.5.4 so I uninstalled
5.5.1, it prompted me whether I wished to remove the entire directory, I hit NO
because I knew I had made modifications since installation but I guess it
*assumed* webapps/root was unmodified and wiped it out.

Guys, you should really fix this sort of thing. Either do a simple check to see
whether webapps/root has been modified or don't delete anything inside webapps
to begin with. Please! I'm setting this issue to a higher priority because it
involved data loss.
