Just to be clear, I still want Xcode 2.1 and all that (I do a lot of other development); I just want to kill WebObjects. I'll look at the script and see if I can fix it to just remove WO.

Leaving WebObjects on your system shouldn't hurt anything.

The main things are it has changed the appearance and behavior of Interface Builder, and that new/resaved nibs now having two extra java/webobjects-specific junk in them which I don't want to be in my svn repository or in the nibs at all.



If you just want to free up some disk space and the tools uninstall script cannot be easily modified to remove just WebObjects, you could open each WebObjects receipt in /Library/ Receipts and look at the list of files installed by each. You could then delete these files manually. You'd also need to open each receipt package to examine the preinstall and postinstall shell scripts to see whether you need to reverse anything these scripts did. All of this can be pretty tedious.

Which is really lame. It's extremely annoying Apple doesn't have an Uninstaller like they do Installer. It's a piece of cake to put anything on your system, but to take some things off practically requires a reinstall.
