I currently use Eclipse Ganymede (3.4.2; on OSX) and just downloaded
3.5.  When I start 3.5, it asks if I want to use my existing workspace
location. Do I? My goal is to eventually switch over entirely to 3.5,
but cautiously.

Furthermore, is there an easy way to import all of my existing svn
repositories into 3.5?

The best course of action is to make a backup of your entire workspace and then point the new 3.5 at the original one. While it is not officially supported, I've often run different versions of Eclipse pointing at the same workspace (not at the same time, of course - Eclipse won't let you open the same workspace by more than one instance at a time). I have not actually tested that using Galileo (3.5), but I'd be surprised if it doesn't work (that is what the backup is for, in case 3.5 does something to your workspace that is not compatible with 3.4).

Doing this, all workspace settings (including svn repositories) should come forward into 3.5.

Hope this helps,
Eric
