Upgrading Eclipse installation to work with Elphel projects, including VDT plugin that launches another Eclipse application (e.g. from Neon to Oxygen)

'''Always backup your workspace files tree or use copies, such as workspace-neon and workspace-oxygen (start with a copy of workspace-neon).'''

Same for secondary workspaces (runtime-EclipseApplication-neon, runtime-EclipseApplication-oxygen). You may find the path to the secondary workspace for VDT plugin here:
Run -> Run Configurations -> Eclipse Application -> Eclipse Application -> Main (tab) -> Location

That may look like: ${workspace_loc}/../runtime-EclipseApplication-oxygen

First open current (working) version of Eclipse (here: Neon), select
File -> Export -> Install -> Installed Software Items to File
Select: All
Select: Include entries not found in repositories
select location where to save the export file

Run new Eclipse version, '''select new empty workspace, not the working one with your projects'''
File -> Import -> Install -> Install Software Items from File -> Next
Locate exported file
select: Install latest version of selected file
Finish

Then close Eclipse and open it with workspace-oxygen (copied from workspace-neon). Eclipse will worn you that it will update the workspace and there is no way back. Agree, as it is a copy of the workspace-neon, not workspace-neon itself.

You projects should open correctly. Now change location of the secondary workspace (from ...-neon to ...-oxygen) in:
Run -> Run Configurations -> Eclipse Application -> Eclipse Application -> Main (tab) -> Location

Try running that secondary Eclipse (it will take longer first time before it will ask about updating configuration to the new Eclipse version) Andrey.filippov

x393 is a project for the FPGA (Xilinx Zynq 7030) that powers Elphel NC393 camera.

==Code repository==
[https://git.elphel.com/Elphel/x393/]

==Installation instructions==
[https://git.elphel.com/Elphel/x393/blob/master/README.md]

==Introduction==
The project uses Verilog HDL, it is distributed as a project of [[VDT]] plugin for Eclipse IDE. When VDT plugin (and related software) is installed you may launch simulation and implementation tools from this IDE.

Simulation uses Icarus Verilog simulator and Cocotb Python co-simulator (Cocotb still uses Icarus).

Proprietary Implementations tools (x393 project uses only free for download WebPack edition of Xilinx Vivado tools) may be installed on the same computer as the development environment, or on a separate computer - in that case VDP plugin uses ssh+rsync to communicate with teh installed software. Such separation allows to comply with Xilinx WebPack license that requires that computer with Vivado WebPack installation should be connected to the Internet, and at the same time preserve security of the files on your workstation - communication between the two computers is one-way and Vivado can not reach files on the workstation.

VDT plugin does not use Vivado GUI, in the case of x393 it only uses Vivado synthesis and implementation command line tools. Other projects (x353) for older FPGA devices use Xiinx ISE, it is possible to use Intel/Altera Quartus also.
