i have my eclipse already installed .. surely theres a more efficient way to upgrade than downloading the full 115mb again? why not provide upgrade patches or something?
We do use the Eclipse update. The only times you have to redownload and reinstall is where there is a change that cannot be picked up by the installer or the release is signifigant enough that we encourage folks to. For most cases within the same dev stream (3.x, 4.x, etc.) using the updater is fine. But when moving streams (3.x -> 4.x) you likely need to reinstall because not only has ME changed drastically, but the new release is likely built ontop of a new Eclipse release (e.g. 3.0 to 3.1).
Which upgrade were you having trouble with?
that sounds good, however yesterday i was running 4.0.2 and wanted to update to 4.0.3. i tried the eclipse updater which told me there were no updates. i had to download the release for 4.0.3 and re-install myeclipse. why did the updater not pick up the update?
why did the updater not pick up the update?
Hmm, you are right it should have picked that up and does with our test machines. What settings did you have and what steps *exactly* did you go through?
(note: if you don’t want to troubleshoot this now just let me know)
i’m pretty busy, so i’ll be brief (sorry):
1. help>software updates>find and install…
2. search for updates of the currently installed features
3. i see ‘myeclipse’ temporarily in the following dialog
4. no available updatesi’ll test again when the next release comes out and detail my reproduction if it doesn’t work
Hrrm, sounds like you did the right steps. Let us know what happens when 4.1 comes out at the end of the month.
if you like, email me when it’s ready .. which is another question: is there an update notification feature/service?
thanks.
If you sign up for our newsletter (http://myeclipseide.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=pnTresMailer&file=index) we send out notifications whenever an important release is made, even if it’s a milestone release but has signifigant features. So that’s a nice and summarized way to keep up to speed.
