3.1 vs. 3.2? [message #182175] Wed, 29 November 2006 17:48 Go to next message

Yesterday I downloaded and installed 3.2 into a separate
directory from 3.1.

3.2 appears to be working fine, is there any reason to
keep the 3.1 directory around?

I have been [ab]using
Eclipse for over a year, but still consider myself a
"newcomer".

As I keep my the workspace in a separate directory from
either version, is there anything from my old directory
I should copy over?

The only think I would recommend is to Export... => Preferences and save
all into a file that you keep before removing 3.1, as I find that I
remember having some capability that I no longer have, and having a set
of preferences to browse through that show how I liked things when
things worked right.

You may also want to take note of any thrid-party plugins that you might
have installed into 3.1, go find out if they have 3.2-compatible
versions of them and install in your 3.2

Hope this helps,
Eric
