It is still basically the same. Some minor things have changed. At this
time there is no new version.

The biggest thing that has changed are the palette and override file
formats. Those old formats are still supported but they aren't the most
efficient and will go away in the future.

See

http://www.eclipse.org/vep/WebContent/docs/migration/migrati on.html

for the new formats of these two types of files.

Thanks for your reply.

I still can't solve the puzzle.

I hava an existing extention to the pallete that I developed using WSAD 5.1
that worked with old eclipse version 2 point something.

Is there any "easy" migrationm path to eclipse 3.2? Do I have to start from
scratch?

Thanks.

No there isn't because the version in WSAD 5.1 is really a totally
different beast. It wasn't the open sourced version of the VE so
everything has changed.

You will need to use the article and convert your stuff over, but use
the new migrated palette and override formats as I described below.
