There isn't an upgrade path for milestone releases. To move to RC1 you
will need to follow the installation instructions to install WTP from
scratch. After installing WTP RC1 you should still be able to open your
existing workspace.

Is there a way to uninstall M5? Do I need to do that at all, or can I just
install RC1 on top of M5?

Is there a plan to have an update site to install wtp (and all deps)
directly from an eclipse-SDK-3.1 install? That would be icing...

"on top of" should work, if you restart Eclipse with -clean after
installing. You'll be left with 100MB or so of obsolete plug-ins on your
disk, but that's life in the big city.

Sure, but no automatic or risk-free way. Just look for plug-ins that
have two versions and delete the earlier.

It is fairly pathetic that Eclipse provides no way to do this
automatically, since the algorithm for choosing which plug-ins to run is
automatic and well-known. But that's the way it goes.

Looked at another way, this is an excellent opportunity for an
EclipseCleaner plug-in! Go for it.
