How to update Workspace from Eclipse Luna (Previous release) to Mars?
Step-1
Eclipse Mars IDE for Java EE Developers: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/marsr
I’m using Macbook Pro so my downloaded package: eclipse-jee-mars-R-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz
Step-2
Extract above .tar.gz file and you will see just Eclipse.app file.
Step-3
During startup just provide your previous Eclipse’s work space and click ok and you should be all good.
So far all my ~20 projects imported successfully to Eclipse Mars without any issue. Compilation worked just fine. Only thing which I had to do is to just install Apache Tomcat again on Eclipse Mars. If you face any issue while installing Tomcat then follow the tutorial.
