Any major problems with Helios?

Question

I have just seen that new major release (3.6 Helios) of eclipse is available for download. I want to try it, but before that I want to know if anybody experienced any major problems.

I want to determine If I could try this or not, since my project setup is complex and easily takes 2, 3 hours normally; I don't want to take any risk.

Answer 1

No major issue sp far.

The main problems I have seen are platform specific, like this crash in Ubuntu.
Small differences are noted in this blog post.

As usual, I always prefer a full Eclipse installation beside the ones I already have.
And for major update, I like to recreate a workspace dedicated for that release, just to be on the safe side.
That way, my old Eclipse release still has its own workspace fully functional.
I also test the plugins in both version by using a shared dropins folder.
