Is there a way to update Eclipse 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 from inside
Eclipse?

Thank you !

So, it sounds like some things show up, just not what you expect? <br>
I've not checked it myself, to see, but you might be running into
some flavor of bug 343667 [1]. <br>
<br>
To explore, and maybe work around, you could go to "install new
software", and uncheck "categories", and uncheck "show most recent
feature only", so you can see each and every feature. Find the
feature named something like Java JEE feature (full id: <span
class="quote">org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.feature). <br>
<br>
The look to see what version you have installed ... should be
1.3.1.something (and its icon dimmed in install new software
dialog). <br>
<br>
Now see what's available to be installed. There should be two:
1.3.2.20110218-0812 (the official "first" one for SR2) and </span>1.3.2.20110301-1807
(the official second one for SR2 ... no real difference, except a
couple of wees and some "internal" data. <br>
<br>
You definitely want to end up with 1.3.2.20110301-1807 installed, in
the end. <br>
<br>
If you already have 0218 version installed, then you should have the
3.6.2 platform installed already. Which would explain why it is not
showing up, as you expect ... you already have it. If that is the
case, you'd still want to update to the 0301 version and when you
do, you might pull in some additional stuff like webtools 3.2.4,
which you'd want anyway (120 more bug fixes). <br>
<br>
There is another bug, <br>
<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=345503"><b>Bug 345503</b></a>
-<span id="summary_alias_container"> <span
id="short_desc_nonedit_display">Reconsider patch/update policy
for EPP Packages</span></span><br>
That talks about the confusing state of things due to the two
versions, two weeks apart, of the main feature. It shows how
"udpate" works differently than we thought. <br>
<br>
So, bottom line, you should be able to directly select the feature
to "install" and get the same stuff as you would via update, if
update was working as we thought it was supposed to and especially
if we did not have to offer two of those two top level jee features,
to fix some other problem. <br>
<br>
Hope at lest one thing from this long note helps. <br>
