| <h3>Upgrading from 3.1 to 3.1.x using update manager</h3> |
| </p> |
| <p>To upgrade from 3.1 to 3.1.x using update manager, you must manually specify |
| a new update site.<a href="#footnote1"><sup>1</sup></a> These instructions describe |
| how to update from 3.1 to 3.1.x or from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 only. These instructions |
| should <u>not</u> be used to upgrade from a 3.0.x build to 3.1 or 3.1.1. </p> |
| <p>In Eclipse 3.1, select</p> |
| <p><strong>Help</strong> --> <strong>Software Updates</strong> --> <strong>Find and Install</strong> --> <strong>Search for New features to Install</strong> </p> |
| <p><img src="images/featureupdates.JPG" width="576" height="515"> </p> |
| <p>Select <strong>New Remote Site</strong>.</p> |
| <p><img src="images/tovisit.JPG" width="576" height="516"></p> |
| <p> In the <strong>New Update Site</strong> dialog, enter Name: <strong>Eclipse |
| SDK 3.1.x Updates</strong> and URL: <strong>http://update.eclipse.org/updates/3.1</strong></strong> |
| </p> |
| <p><strong></strong><img src="images/newsite.JPG" width="356" height="154"></p> |
| <p> </p> |
| <p>Select <strong>OK</strong>.</p> |
| <p><img src="images/check.JPG" width="600" height="538"></p> |
| <p>Ensure that only <strong>Eclipse 3.1.x SDK updates</strong> check box is selected |
| and press <strong>Finish</strong>.</p> |
| <p> </p> |
| <p>A list of mirrors will appear that have the 3.1.x updates. Select a mirror |
| that is geographically suitable for you and select OK </p> |
| <p><img src="images/mirrors.JPG" width="456" height="377"></p> |
| <p>The update process should now proceed as usual.</p> |
| <p> </p> |
| <p><a name="footnote1"><sup>1</sup> The eclipse update site is specified as http://update.eclipse.org/updates/3.0 |
| in Eclipse 3.1 features. However, you cannot upgrade to 3.0 to 3.1 using update |
| manager because the startup.jar and eclipse executable were upgraded from 3.0 |
| to 3.1 and update manager does not currently support upgrading these files. |
| If we placed the 3.1.x updates in the standard 3.x update site, this could cause |
| problems for 3.0 installations. Consquently, we have created a new update site |
| for the 3.1.x maintenance streams http://update.eclipse.org/updates/3.1. See |
| https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123162 for further details.</p> |
