Hi Jeff. So lets say I do just a clean install which is fine. I am using
pydev plugin for eclipse and I already have a workspace and all that
stuff and also I dont want to loose my preferences that is my
configuration such as coloring of the code etc. How would I go about not
losing all that.
Thanks

It is recommended to first take a copy of you workspace, install the new
Eclipse *next to* the old one, point the new Eclipse to the copy, and
keep the old copy at hand for when something goes wrong. Once
everything is going fine, you can delete the old copy and the old Eclipse.

What do you mean when you say "next to". Also all my plug-ins will be
gone. So what do I do about that. Just install the plug-ins again?

I mean: leave the old Eclipse where it is, and install the new one in a
different folder (or, if you want to have a specific name for the
folder, rename the old one first). Yes, you plug-ins will be gone, you
will have to reinstall them too. I find this a PITA when upgrading
Eclipse, they should take an example from Mozilla. However, the update
manager now comes with some predefined sites which contain much of the
most-wanted plugins.
Otherwise, you can export your update sites in the old eclipse, and
import them in the new one (see the update sites window).

I think the Eclipse website really needs to have prominent instructions
on how to upgrade. I made this suggestion a few days ago but got no
feedback. Should I file a bug/feature request somewhere?
