I'm running Eclipse RC1, Build ID: 200302211557 and I have a question about
updating. Should I use Update Manager to update my version of Eclipse or is
Update Manager only meant for updating plugins?
Also, is the Update Manager code thoroughly tested and stable now so that I
can safely and confidently upgrade Eclipse? Or is it still a bit buggy? If
it is not that great yet, I'll simply download the latest stable build
instead of using Update Manager.
I wanted to check with the experts here before I did anything stupid; I've
never tried Update Manager before and I don't find that the concepts behind
it are very well explained in the online help.
By the way, I just clicked on Help/Software Updates/Update Manager and am
looking at the Configuration History. It says that I've got three reconcile
points: one from Feb 28, which is when I think I installed this version, one
from Apr 7 and one from Jun 17. How did the latter two get there? I've never
run Update Manager before but it looks like Eclipse went out and did some
upgrading on its own, without even telling me. Both of the latter two have a
target of: file:C:/Program Files/eclipse...rm.cfg.metadata/LocalSite.xml, an
action of Reconcile and a status of Success. What did these updates actually
do??
