Question on updating Eclipse [message #221426]

I've finally gotten around to installing Eclipse Ganymede Web Tools
Platform. This gives you WTP 3.0.0. I noticed on the WTP project site that
3.0.1 was released on August 22nd and 3.0.2 will be released on Sept 25 as
part of the Ganymede simultaneous release. I went to the update manager to
try and update to 3.0.1, but it said there were no updates available. Is
this because I downloaded the Ganymede flavor of WTP and will have to wait
until Sept 25?

I had a similar experience with the Subversive plugin, where I used the
Ganymede Subversive update site which gave me version 0.7.1, and eclipse
wouldn't allow an update to the current 0.7.3. So I used the non-Ganymede
Subversive update site, which loaded 0.7.3 just fine.

So in a nutshell, if you downloaded Ganymede, you will be on a
less-frequent release schedule than if you downloaded from the individual
project sites? And will sticking with Ganymede make life easier for
updating come June when a new major release of Eclipse is out? Or will
that require a fresh install?

Thanks,
Joe

Depends a bit, but what you are trying to do should work, mostly. 
 
First, you might have gone to the Ganymede update site? If so, we did
not put 3.0.1 on the Ganymede update site ... Ganymede simultaneous
release is the one coming up 9/25 so WTP 3.0.2 should be updateable
from there after that date. 
 
Second, you should be able to simply invoke "update" to find the
updates from the webtools update site, BUT you probably first have to enable
the webtools update site. It is disabled by default (they all should
be, except the basics) and I think it can be enabled on the manage
update sites dialog.
