Hi,

Our project is on ME 3.8.3 and wanted to upgrade to ME 3.8.4. I have read several discussions on how to upgrade, but still I am baffled. I have tried the following URL for software updates, but I am not shown any updates in Eclipse:

http://www.myeclipseide.com/products/eworkbench/updates-3.0 

Is ME 3.8.4 supported by an update site and, if so, which one.

Or is 3.8.4 supported by re-installing ME and if so, are there any issues that we should consider when doing a re-install.

Thanks,

James

James,
I’m sure you must have already, but please verify that you read this: http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-5755.html

If you still can’t see anything, close MyEclipse, just download the MyEclipse 3.8.4 installer, run it, install it to a new location OTHER than your old MyEclipse location (e.g. C:\MyEclipse-3.8.4), start MyEclipse, go to Help > Software updates > Manage Config, right click on the existing MyEclipse extension, Disable it say NO to restarting, right click again, Add > New Extension, point to your MyEclipse dir, say NO to restarting. Close down MyEclipse. Edit your shortcut you use to launch MYEclipse, add -clean command line argument to the command, fire MyEclipse back up, verify ME is working. Now shut down MyEclipse, you are save to remove the old dir.

NOTE: I even think that running the installer and installing it ontop of your existing MyEclipse, letting it overwrite everything and relaunching with -clean will work, although this is not supported (because if it doesn’t work, we’ll just ask you to do a clean reinstall anyway).
