How to upgrade Eclipse from Galileo to Helios on Ubuntu (10.04) -


from other related posts, recommended "best practice" create "parallel" installation of eclipse 3.6 (helios). wish simple ...

on system, installation package 3.5 (galileo) seems have distributed eclipse system files on many different file-system locations:

/usr/lib/eclipse /usr/bin/eclipse /usr/share/ /var/lib/dpkg/info/ /etc/eclipse.ini ~/.eclipse 

it's not @ clear me "parallel" installation in case. can enlighten me?

would better off deleting other workspace files appears involve eclipse, , try clean install of helios?

thanks.

i, personally, download zip package of eclipse eclipse.org , don't use system's eclipse package @ all. makes cleaner. then, when upgrading, delete old eclipse folder, unzip new one, , maybe keep options in eclipse.ini. difficulty plugins keep links update sites it's no big deal download , install them again.
