Can anyone tell me how to upgrade from 3.2.2 to 3.3 eclipse without having
to manually install all the plug-ins that I had in the old version?

Thanks

Plamen,

My understanding is that there isn't a way to do this...

This is what I understood from the docs as well, but hoped that somebody had
figured out a way...

So, this should be an item for improvement.
The plug-ins should be listed by name and the new eclipse version should be
able to figure out whether those plugins have compatible versions.

Thanks Ed

Plamen,

There's a big effort underway under the heading of Provisioning to help
improve the situation. Unfortunately I suspect that it will make it
even harder to move from 3.3 to 3.4, but will make subsequent migration
from 3.4 to 3.5 easier. Time will tell...

Plamen,
You should look at the web pages that talk about the new provisioning
effort (start here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_Provisioning) and
see if there is a plan to include the feature you are looking for
(automatic upgrading of plugins). If it's not there, add to the
discussion or enter a new enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Eric
