How to upgrade Eclipse? [message #1802778]

Hello,

I'm trying to follow the steps from this tutorial in Eclipse 2018-09.

After pasting URL I can't clikc "OK" like it is described - I can feel also the name of the site and click "Add".

Then I'm supposed to go to "Help > Check for Updates".

But what I see is a list of available software from added site... and I don't know what to do ;)
Should I mark all of them? It doesn't look like Eclipse itself upgrade.

I know I can always install from scratch, but I wanted to upgrade this instance.

Thanks in advance.

Which version are you on now? What site URL are you adding?

Nitin - I was on 2018-09 version, like I wrote. I was adding the http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2018-12/ update site from the example.

Just to make sure, did you accidentally hit the Install New Software menu item instead? Checking for updates should either throw up a progress dialog or show that it's checking your sites for updates in the Progress view, and when done open an installation dialog with the updates it found.
