title: What is the best way to upgrade from Eclipse 3.3 to 3.4 (or future releases)
body: <p>In the past I have had problems upgrading from release to release of Eclipse. I was wondering how the Eclipse users on StackOverflow dealt with upgrading from release to release of Eclipse.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is using a Distro the solution?</li>
  <li>Staying on a past release point until you are forced forward, a good idea?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Lately I have just reloaded from scratch; renaming my root Eclipse dir and downloaded the latest release, plus an update cycle. I have only lost my workspaces (no code was lost) once using this method.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
