What do you think about an eclipse intro page instead?
As far as I know, it can be shown when the plugin was updated,
or when it is installed the first time, the removal could be described
there.

When exactly would you show this dialog?
The migration is currently done when the bundle is activated,
which could also be during the start up of eclipse.

It would probably be good to make this a modal message so the user
would need to
push an OK button. I suppose you could have a cancel option button,
too, in
case the user didn't want to do the migration, and wanted to
uninstall the 2.3.2
version and go back to the previous one (though, I doubt that path
would be
chosen - but then again, perhaps there are more issues we don't
realize, yet).
Sounds good, I will add such a dialog. I do not see the need for a
cancel button,
since the existing things are not changed, even after doing the
migration it
will be possible to just go back to the old version.
All we change is setting a type system property on the project and
copy the dotCorpus file to
the new default location, the old dotCorpus file remains in place.
