+ <title>Upgrading from Fedora 8</title>
+ <para>
+ Users upgrading from Fedora 8 should be aware that cached content in their home directory may not be flushed properly (see Eclipse bug <ulink url="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215034">#215034</ulink>). To work around this issue, run Eclipse from a terminal with the <option>-clean</option> option. Note: this only needs to be done once.
