Hello!
How can I upgrade from Eclipse 2.0.2 to 2.1 M4? Is it enough just to unzip
the corresponding files into the eclipse directory? I would like to preserve
my settings, but as I understand it, those are in the .metadata subdirectory
under the workspace directory and therefore should not be affected by the
upgrade, is that right?
Thank you for the help,
Martin

Just unzipping the new archive over your old install might work, but I
wouldn't recommend it. You'd be better off deleting the old install and
unzipping the new one fresh.
If your workspace directory is in your Eclipse install location (the default
behavior, but not recommended), make sure to back it up first!

the readmetool example version 2.0.2 with 2.1 M3, but got lots of errors,
all resulting from org.eclipse... classes being moved to differen packages.
Initally i missed some of the new packages in the class path, so "Organize
Imports" created import statements that import classes from javax.swing...
However after removing the errorneous import statements Eclipse was quite
quite good at finding where the classes had gone )
