this might have been discussed here, but my works firewall blocks
newsgroups, so i'm using the web interface :(

what is the best way to migrate a 2.1 project to 3.0? i can't seem to
find a way to have 3.0 use my existing 2.1 project.

thanks.

I know there's an entry in the Eclipse FAQ for this, but I don't have
the URL handy...

Install 3.0 into a directory separate from your 2.1 install.
Backup your workspace (in case you ever want to go back to 2.1).
Start 3.0, pointing it to your workspace directory (using -data param to
eclipse.exe)
It should recognize all your Projects in the workspace.

HTH,
Eric

Thanks for the advice Eric. Instead, I copied the workspace directory,
which seemed to work just fine. I looked in the FAQ and couldn't find
anything, unless there is a separate FAQ for 3.0.
