Hey guys,
I currently have eclipse 3.1 with Build Id: 200408122000
This is the august version of eclipse. I wanted to get the latest stream
build(16th Dec. 2004).
I have tried Help, software updates and looked for all upgrades but that
does not do the trick.
I want to upgrade without losing all my plugins. Can someone give me
some pointers to do this??
thanks
Rishabh

I don't think there are automatic updates offered anywhere for
"development stream" releases. You pretty much have to do it by hand.
If you're upgrading Eclipse often, you should make sure your workspace
isn't located inside the install directory (the default location).
Instead, move it somewhere else and add "-data <path/to/workspace>" to
the command line (shortcut) you use to launch Eclipse.
If you have a bunch of other plugins installed, you can either reinstall
them everytime or I think there's a commandline flag you can pass to
point to extra plugins located outside the main Eclipse install.
Personally, I just wrote a script that downloads the latest build from
my company's local fileserver, deletes my old install, unzips the new
build, and then unzips my favorite plugins into the new install.
