Lately its a little scary to even update small patches which dont make any major changes, knowing that there is every possibility that in the middle of development and coding, you could break down something and then end up hanging for quite sometime wasting precious time.
All said and done, it was pretty safe to just update from the Carbide.c++ update site like described by eric!! Thanks

In fact, it now seems to me that you need to check the Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools 3.9.11.5 from Nokia's server, because otherwise I am getting an error saying "An error occurred while automatically activating bundle com.nokia.cdt.debug.launch (358)" in the Error Log while starting up, as well as a whole host of follow-up errors, and the Debug button no longer works.

So right now I am a bit confused about the CDT warning in the Release Notes...

That is definitely true if you update the CDT from the Eclipse Project Updates (I know, I experienced it!).
I doubt this is true if you update it from the Carbide.c++ update site as this one delivers the changes from Nokia. This worked like a charm for me, it did not break my workspace nor anything so far (but I am in a coding day, so I did not check for the emulator, otd, or ui designer).

I have to laugh, if you goto the Help|Carbide.c++ release notes command there is a big red text block saying "WARNING: Updating the CDT feature in Carbide.c++/Eclipse will wipe out our changes making the tools unusable"

So I for one declined to update the CDT

The problem I found with the Search for updates of the currently installed features is that it doesn't ask you the update server you want to interrogate. And thus, you can finish upgrading with modules from the standard Eclipse branch and not from the Carbide.c++ branch.

Upgrading to Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools 3.9.11.5 should be safe as it comes from Nokia server, not standard Eclipse one. (At least I have upgraded like described above this morning and I don't think that I have broken anything so far!).

The instructions here seem to be slightly at odds with those posted by MikeT on the FN Forum at http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113303 where he suggests using Search for updates of the currently install features instead of searching for new features.

Also, in the Release Notes posted there I found a warning about not updating the CDT feature. Does this mean unchecking the Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools 3.9.11.5 option?
