Upgrading MobileFirst Studio in the Developer Edition to MobileFirst Studio v6.3.0

How to upgrade from IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Developer Edition v6.2.x, or earlier, to MobileFirst Studio v6.3.0.

We cannot directly upgrade to MobileFirst Studio v6.3.0 from an earlier version of Developer Edition. Instead, you must uninstall IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Developer Edition, and install MobileFirst Studio v6.3.0.

The Eclipse menu Help > Check for Updates does not find a new version of IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation. You must explicitly search for MPF in Eclipse Marketplace.

1. Start the Eclipse IDE workbench and verify the version of Eclipse:

   • MobileFirst Studio v6.3.0 cannot be installed in versions of Eclipse that are older than Juno or V4.2.2.

   • If we have an older version of Eclipse, update it to Juno or Kepler before you continue with this procedure.

2. Uninstall the current MobileFirst Studio Developer Edition. See Uninstall MobileFirst Studio.

3. Install MobileFirst Studio v6.3.0 by clicking Get the Developer Edition on the Developer Center for IBM MobileFirst Platform website, and by following the indicated steps.

What to do next

We can now point to the earlier workspace, and work with your existing projects. The topic Migrate projects to MobileFirst Studio v6.3.0 contains information about how to migrate and work with the existing projects.
