Answer 1

You can transfer most of your preferences by Export... > Preferences > Export all in your old installation and importing them into your new one.

Answer 2

I followed the same way that AlanB described and had no problems upgrading from Indigo:

1. Add the Juno Update Site and the update sites of other projects you are using (under Eclipse > Preferences > Available Software Sites)

2. Select Help > Check for Updates

3. Follow the update wizard (select everything you need, accept everything you have to)

4. Restart Eclipse

Eclipse Juno (4.2) Readme (slightly more detailed): "Upgrading Workspace from a Previous Release"

Answer 3

The first and second answers didn't work for me.

I ended up downloading the most recent version of eclipse and import the workspace and configurations from the previous version.
