Retrofit Jazz Beta1 into Eclipse 3.3 release?

My team has been using RC4 of 3.3 (which is most likely identical to R3.3)
for a few days now without problems. Eclipse should have been API frozen
since M5, so in theory each build after that only makes things better.

Commercial products based on Eclipse like Jazz must perform some legal
sanity checks before redistributing their product or even just Eclipse
itself.

As I understand it, Jazz Beta1 is based on a milestone build of Eclipse
3.3. Does anybody know of a reason that I couldn't extract the jazz
plugins and install them in the Eclipse 3.3 release that's coming out
tomorrow? Other than the obvious: 'We haven't tested that yet'? Will the
client still talk to the server if I don't update the server Eclipse
plugins?

Hi Bryan,

I extracted Eclipse 3.3 RC4 into my Jazz install two weeks ago. I
haven't found any problems yet, and the servers I'm connecting to are
running a M7 based install.

It seems to work just fine. I downloaded Beta 1, and Eclipse 3.3. I
removed the Eclipse executable, features and plugins directory from
Jazz and replaced them with the 3.3 release. Started Eclipse with
-clean and it all seems to be working. I've not done exhaustive
tessting so YMMV.
