How to upgrade Eclipse from 3.5 (Galileo) to 3.6 (Helios) the proper way?

Question

I notice this question has been asked a few times but I don\'t really like the solution with two Eclipses in parallel. I just want my Galileo upgraded to Helios with preservatio

Answer 1

You cannot. You have to download, uncompress and run it without the ubuntu repository. In this scenario you can upgrade without problems ;-)

If you want to use Helios through the ubuntu repository you have to wait beyond Maverick (10.10) as you can see here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse
