Upgrade to Fedora Packager for Eclipse 0.2.0

Upgrade to Fedora Packager for Eclipse 0.2.0

Old Fedora Packager for Eclipse (0.1.12 and below) did not filter context menu visibility as rigorously as Fedora Packager for Eclipse 0.2 does. In order to do proper filtering of its context menu, version 0.2.0 and above set some persistent state when projects are imported from Fedora Git. This has the effect that the context menu is not shown for projects which have been imported via Fedora Packager for Eclipse 0.1.12 and below. Note that our updated version comes with a tool which makes upgrading those projects simple. Steps required include:

1. Open the Fedora Packaging perspective Window => Open Perspective => Other.

2. Click the icon of the conversion tool (as indicated in the screenshot below)

3. Select projects in your workspace which should get upgraded

4. Click OK and selected projects should get converted.

After the above steps, the Fedora Packager for Eclipse context menu should show up as usual.

Feel free to skip to the "Using Fedora Packager" section if you are an existing maintainer and know how to package new software for Fedora.
