Why can't I update from 3.0 to 3.1? [message #289908] Fri, 12 August 2005 21:15 Go to next message

Hello,

I have Eclipse 3.0.2 installed and I wanted to update to 3.1 using the
automatic update(Help -> Software updates). But when I do so, it doesn't
offer to update to 3.1. Why not? Do I have to install 3.1 manually?

Thanks for any answers...

Roland

Roland,

Just install 3.1 to a different dir, and you're done.

If you want to use your current workspace, first back it up, or yu won't
be able to use it with 3.0.

Regards,

Ed.

Go to Window-Preferences->Install/Update and change the Valid updates value
to "compatible" and try again.
It might work.

Yes, for major upgrades like 3.0 -> 3.1 you need to install separately.
See this page for some quick tips: http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/Upgrading
