Move to eclipse Indigo?

Question

Now that the new version of eclipse is out should I move to immediately? If my plug-ins work in Galileo will it work in the indigo?

Answer 1

There is no way to know without trying or researching what the particular plugin providers state regarding Indigo compatibility. Many plugins will work just fine. Some will not.

I would recommend starting a separate Indigo install along side your working Galileo install. Then install your plugins into the new install one by one. If everything installs and appears to be working, you can safely transition. If it doesn't, you will know which plugins are incompatible. Maybe a newer version exists or is on the way.

Answer 2

I am planning not to switch before SR2 is available. In the past new Eclipse versions had some minor bugs and I don't see the big advantage of Indigo for my daily work.

Answer 3

It is a risk worth taking. First, create a copy of your eclipse installation and upgrade and see if your plugins are working fine.

If those are working it's good to go Indigo.

All the best with Indigo.
