Updataing from 3.1M7 to 3.1RCn [message #77774]

Hi

"Help->Sofware Updates -> Find and Install -> Search for updates to the
currently installed features", results in nothing found. Is "semiautomatic
updates" diabled during development?

I assume gross overloading of files from the RC2 download on top of files
in the M7 folder won't do it either?

Can someone direct me to some cookbook type instructions on doing the
upgrade? I assume whatever process it is will also work when the final
release comes out?

TIA,

Lenny Wintfeld

Updates are not enabled for within a release development

Download RC2.
Install in a NEW location from M7 (never install over an old Eclipse
install).
Start RC2 using the -data option to point to your M7 workspace location.
If you do not know where this is, start M7 with the -showlocation option and
the Eclipse window will indicate the workspace path as part of its title

Good to go
