MyEclipse 5.1 requires Eclipse 3.2 so I would recommend installing the MyEclipse 5.1 All-in-one install in a separate, clean directory. Make a backup copy of your 4.1 workspace just in case. Then when MyEclipse 5.1 starts and it prompts you for your workspace, point it to your MyEclipse 4.1 workspace. All of your projects should be converted to MyEclipse 5.1 projects with no issues.

Meena,

MyEclipse requires 1.4.2 or greater (on windows), so you should be ok. Many of the features (UML, Image Editor) require JDK 5 on linux.
