Migrating from Earlier ReleasesMigration considerations

Reverting to an older version of the IDE

When you load an existing project that was created with an older version of the IDE, the IDE updates the project to take advantage of the new features. This can cause problems if you try to load the same project into your older version of the IDE.

If you plan to revert to an older version of the IDE, make a backup copy of your workspace before using the new version.

Note: Don't use cp to back up your workspace under Windows; use xcopy or an archiving/backup utility.

Import projects into an older IDE

You can also import an existing project into an older version of the IDE:

Make a backup copy of your workspace.
Remove the .cproject and .project files from your project's directory.
Import your project into the older version of the IDE.
