==What do I need to do to use org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder from HEAD now that the Xerces plugin has been removed?==
+
 
+
If you use the org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder in your builds and you use TestVersionTracker to create a test.properties file (search for "TestVersionTracker" in your customTargets.xml build scripts), please read on.
+
 
+
Some older versions of the TestVersionTracker class required Xerces on the classpath. We have removed the Xerces jars from the HEAD stream only of org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder.
+
 
+
For any team broken by this, a <generateTestProperties> custom Ant task has been created which does the same. It is available in the org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/plugins/org.eclipse.build.tools plug-in from HEAD. To use all you will need to do is the following replacement:
+
 
+
Replace text such as this (taken from GEF):
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<property name="build.compiler" value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter"/>
+
<javac
+
        verbose="true"
+
        failonerror="true"
+
        srcdir="${builderDirectory}/tools"
+
        destdir="${builderDirectory}/tools"
+
        classpath="${eclipse.home}/plugins/org.apache.xerces_4.0.13/xercesImpl.jar:${eclipse.home}/plugins/org.apache.xerces_4.0.13/xmlParserAPIs.jar"/>
+
<java classname="TestVersionTracker">
+
    <arg line="${workingDirectory}/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.gef.test_3.1.0/feature.xml ${buildDirectory} ${workingDirectory}/gef-testing/test.properties" />
+
    <classpath>
+
        <pathelement path="${eclipse.home}/plugins/org.apache.xerces_4.0.13/xercesImpl.jar:${eclipse.home}/plugins/org.apache.xerces_4.0.13/xmlParserAPIs.jar:${builderDirectory}/tools" />
+
    </classpath>
+
</java>
+
</source>
+
 
+
with this:
+
 
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<generateTestProperties
+
        buildDirectory="${buildDirectory}"
+
        featureId="org.eclipse.sdk.tests"
+
        outputFile="${workingDirectory}/eclipse-testing/test.properties"/>
+
</source>

==How do I update from 3.1 to 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 using update manager?==
+
Refer to this document http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-releng/updatesfor3.1.1.html
+
 
+
==Can I use update manager in my existing Eclipse 3.1 installation to upgrade to Eclipse 3.2?==
+
No.
+
 
+
Why not? The existing update manager can only update plug-ins and features, not files such as the Eclipse executable. See {{bug|123162}} for additional details.
+
 
+
The good news is that if you download the platform runtime or Eclipse SDK for 3.2, you can install the Callisto components you are interested in using update manager.  See [http://www.eclipse.org/callisto/ the Callisto page] for more details.
+
 
+
==How can I run the update manager from a command line to mirror a remote site?==
+
Refer to [http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/update_standalone.html running update manager from command line] in Eclipse Help for the latest information. It copies the appropriate versions of features and associated plugins you specify and generates the site.xml.  For instance, if you wanted to create an update site for the platform feature.
