Updating Eclipse from Juno to Kepler

Posted on by Posted in PHP, Ruby, Software Development 4 Comments

Updating Eclipse from Juno to Kepler in 5 simple steps. My PDT(PHP), Ruby, EGit, and SVN plugins all work after the update.

1. Click Help > Install New Software.

2. Click the add button and add this location: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/

3. After a short wait, the location has been added, click Cancel.

4. Click Help > Check for Updates.

5. I updated all plugins so I clicked OK whenever it asked and I accepted license agreements.

This will run for a while as it downloads and installs, once it is done it will ask to restart Eclipse. After Eclipse restarts you should be on Kepler.

I have been in the software industry for over 14 years in many different roles including LAMP engineer, software developer, technical trainer, and manager. I enjoy learning new things and working on strong teams. I spend my free time with my wife and my son, trying to stay dry in the pacific northwest. I spend all day with my head in the clouds (AWS usually).

  3. I was thinking about the upgrade, but i'm worried i'll lose the customization i've done in the past 2 years to some options of my Indigo: can i update safely or it would be better to start from scratch downloading kepler?
    Thanks.

    • Hi Andrew,
      I did not have any issues updating, so I would do the update instead of starting from scratch, but please do backup before updating, just in case, better safe than sorry.

      Thanks,
      Robert
