I tried upgrading from Luna to Mars by following the instructions here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_upgrade_Eclipse%3F
I added the Mars repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars as an update site and then did check for updates. But I get the exception
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.java, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

How can I fix this?
Open the Available Software Sites preference page. Enable the Latest Eclipse release https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest repository by ticking the checkbox. Apply and Close. Check for updates.
Eclipse provides the facility to check for any updates for the existing features and install those updates. To check for updates go to Help => Check For Updates.
Before upgrading I first check the availables web sites for update. I disable all from the previous releases and start by performing an update on the already installed components. After this upgrade I just add
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars
and upgrade to the new release of eclipse.
