Sounds like a good way to go... Any other comments/warnings/gotcha's on this procedure?

If you have a current Eclipse install that you like which contains CFE, and want to try CFB in the same setting, theoretically, you could: 1) Copy your current Eclipse install folder to something like eclipse-cfb 2) Either copy your workspace folder or create a new one 3) Fire up the "new" eclipse-cfb install and point it at the copied or new workspace 4) Remove the CFE plugin from this "new" Eclipse install 5) Install CFB as a plugin for this "new" Eclipse install If you did a new workspace, you can choose the "File > Import > Existing projects into workspace" option and import all your existing projects at once (assuming they're all under the chosen import folder). Be sure that the "copy existing project data into workspace" (or whatever it says) is unchecked, as you probably don't want multiple copies of your projects. I added the bit about the workspace in case settings conflict or something. Could be you'd be fine using the same workspace with both installs. And I guess you could export your preferences from your old workspace and import them into the new one, if you went the new workspace route. Someone said something about an error using existing projects with CFB? If so, that is kinda messed up. Probably project nature, but still. That should totally be graceful. Assuming what I vaguely recollect about said problem is true, and it errors, that is. Heh. Anyways, there you go, a theoretically easy way to try out your existing Eclipse with CFB, without messing your existing install up. Theoretically. -- No person is important enough to make me angry.
