Upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 [message #132508]

hi all,

I have currently an eclipse platform Version: 3.0.2 Build id: 200503110845.
I want to upgrade it to the latest version which is i believe 3.1.2.

I tried to use the update manager but obviously it doesn't work.
I check on lists and i googled a lot. I found out that it's very hard to
do so !
Seems like the bootstrap changed and therefore no easy upgrade is possible
!
Why would they do such thing ?

I'm using my platform to its extent ! i have so many settings and projects
involved that i'm too scared to attempt anything.

I tried once to install a fresh 3.1.2 and then point to the workspace
defined with my previous installation of 3.0.2 but it didn't work at all.
not only it didn't keep my preferences but i couldn't see anymore my
projects !

I thought i lost everything... i put back the 3.0.2 and everything was
back.

Does ANYONE had to upgrade ? I can't believe i'm the only one struggling
with this issue !

It just doens't make sense at all !

I thanks you all for ANY help, any ideas !

cheers,
fabrice

Hi

It is impossible to use update manager to upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.1.x.

This bug describes the reasons why.
