hi.

what is the standard way to upgrade wtp-0.7RC3 to wtp-0.7? is it safe to
simply copy the new version over the old one or do I have to set up a new
eclispe installation?

Regards,
Adrian.

Probably a little late but for the sake of others...

It is generally safe to simply copy the new build over the top of the
old. This is done in three steps:
1: Close any instances of Eclipse still open.
2: Extract the plugin files into Eclipse
3: Restart Eclipse appending the '-clean' flag to the command line

The clean flag instructs Eclipse to recreate the plugin manifest. You
can verify that everything is installed and working properly by
navigating to the Manage Configuration dialog, Help->Software
Updates->Manage Configuration. Make sure that the "show disabled
features" button is selected then expand the tree and verify that your
plugin isn't disabled.

I'd disagree it's generally safe to simply copy the new build over the
top of the old. Perhaps this particular build but I had bad experiences.
