Upgrading Eclipse?

Ever upgrade eclipse? Seems to not be a smart move. When trying to use the jcoverage plugin for maven, I saw that jcoverage comes as an eclipse plugin! After going through the install guide, it didn't seem to work properly. I looked at teh compatible versions and I just had plain old 3.1, not 3.1 M2. Ok, let's upgrade.

Bad idea.

Why does eclipse make it so easy to upgrade its own plugins, but doesn't allow for an upgrade of the product itself. Now I have to do a fresh install and go install all the plugins all over again.

Pain in my ass!!

just a small hint: i usually 'export' the list of installed plugins (from the Find and Install' dialog box), to perform a fast recover in case of crashes or unfortunate upgrades.

just my 2¢,
