[news.eclipse.tools] How to upgrade

[hao.wu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Hao Wu)]

M4 has just came out. I'd like to ask a question that should have been
asked long before. What's the best way to upgrade Eclipse?

What I currently do is to use "external" workspace, outside of <eclipse
install dir>, say C:\eclipse. And when I want to install new release,
remove the old (C:\eclipse) and unzip the new (into C:\eclipse). But this
still requires installation of the plugins.

Is there a better way?
