Hi,

Is it safe to install the 4.1 M2 release of MyEclipse when I have 4.0.3 already installed?

Just install M2 in another directory? No side-effect issues to consider?

I don’t want to mess up my production copy (4.0.3).

Thanks in advance.

A follow up to my question above…

Is it OK to just install M2 over top of my MyEclipse 4.0.3 installation folder?

Your site says M2 “isn’t for production use”, but doesn’t that just refer to the new features in M2? I mean, I should be able to use the 4.0.3 subset in M2 with no problems, right?

I’d like to go ahead and update my production folder if this wouldn’t cause any problems.

Maybe 4.1 will be out shortly and I should just wait?

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks again…

Personally I would wait if all you wanted to do was try out 4.1, the GA release is due out at the end of the month and we are fixing up a lot and tightening it down.

No, definately not a good idea.

That is a good question, the answer is really “no” though considering that during development we can replace entire feature sets with improved tools that have been in internal development, or maybe we are working on the underlying MyEclipse framework in which case existing functionality might be broken or replaced.

If you don’t mind waiting a few weeks it’s probably a safer bet.

THanks very much for your thoughtful reply.

I’m anxious to get started with the new JSF and Ajax features.

But, based on your reply, I agree, it’s probably better to wait.

Thanks again.
