the projects?

I hope the automatic update to 3.1 is still possible.

Thanks for any clues.

As far as I know you need to download Eclipse 3.1 manually and then point it
to the required workspace where your projects exist or create a new
workspace and import your projects.

What a nuisance. Settings, plugins, preferences - back to square one. I've
been through this when Eclipse moved from 2.X to 3.X, and was hoping to
never do it again.

What's the use of the automatic upgrade feature if it can only be used for
minor maintenance releases?

Perhaps Yoxos may be useful, I remember the Eclipse news letter mentioning
it.


"YOXOS 2.0 EXTENDS ECLIPSE 3.1

With the new release of Yoxos, Eclipse users can update
their Eclipse 3.1 installations quickly and easily through
a single install manager. The Yoxos Install Manager (YIM)
lists over 160 open source plugins that have been tested on
the recent Eclipse release. The Community Edition allows
users to install many of these plugins using YIM for free
and directly from a Web browser - no registration necessary. "

There is a Preferences setting that controls what types of upgrades it
will look for. Preferences > Install/Update > "Valid updates" - by
default it only includes minor increments; try setting it to include
major increments and see if that helps.

HOWEVER, note that most third-party plugins will not function properly
in 3.1 unless you upgrade them to a 3.1-compatible version.
The overwhelming recommendation for upgrading is to install 3.1 into a
new location and then point it to your existing 3.0 workspace. That way,
you only have to install/upgrade third-party plugins; projects and
preferences will be preserved because they are in your workspace, not
the Eclipse install directories.

HTH,
Eric
