Hello,

  1. first you should get the CS4 SDK from Adobe
  2. you will have to do changes to your code, so it is good to have a backup of your CS3 project
  3. most of the changes you will do is:
    1. update the project to be able to see the new CS4 SDK(new libraries needed, include path changed etc)
    2. go throught the Advisory document (in the SDK doc folder) which describes API changes between CS3 and CS4 - fix those in your code. This might be easy or more complicated, most of the time it is ok)
    3. After the "visible" and "obvious" things were fixed and you are able to compile you need to go through the new features in CS4 and make sure your plugin still does what is was supposed to do (I thing it was links in CS4)
  4. it is possible to hold sourcecode for different CS versions in one project tree, by using preprocessor macros
  5. have on mind, CS3->CS4 transition is straightforward, CSx -> CS5 needs model separation

Hope this shows at least the beginning of the path//Adam
