How Maintain Updated Eclipse and his Plugins ?
Just enable this
and you will be notified when a new version or an update is available for Eclipse or his plugins, like Subclipse or any other you may have installed.
also this will help you update easily without reinstall anything.

Re: How Maintain Updated Eclipse and his Plugins ?
It may work but is not really recommended, mostly when it's a version change such as 3.7.2 to 4.2, usually you will keep libraries from older versions and invalid metadata then you will have errors starting Eclipse while it initialize those plugins.

Re: How Maintain Updated Eclipse and his Plugins ?
if an update from 3.7.x --> 3.8/4.2 is safe, due the new compatibility with plugins and the migration compatibility from previus versions.
and about the older Eclipse libraries... these will be overriden (as always) with the new ones, even if you have the old files present (because Eclipse checks the date of each file before load).
troubles only could be if you are updating from a really old Eclipse version for example from 3.4/5/6 -->3.8/4.2
anyway you can uninstall old plugins manually and reinstall them
PD: Idea of this is to maintain a standar with same IDE Tool version between Devs and Community in order to fix and detect same issues and use same features.

Re: How Maintain Updated Eclipse and his Plugins ?
It should be enabled anyway to keep at least the plugins updated, so there can't be any arguments against this.
I always enable it when I set up Eclipse.
Slightly offtopic, but here's how to enable SVN 1.7 support in Eclipse 3.7 (and probably older versions too):

What do you say about when Eclipse can't update: insufficient access privileges to apply this update (Ubuntu)

Re: How Maintain Updated Eclipse and his Plugins ?
Run eclipse as sudo? I don't know, not directly related to this anyway. Seems stupid that it doesn't even ask for admin password to install the updates :/

Re: How Maintain Updated Eclipse and his Plugins ?
you just need to change permissions of "eclipse" and "workspace" folders.

Re: How Maintain Updated Eclipse and his Plugins ?
Wherever your eclipse executable is. There is no default directory, you just extract it anywhere you want. And don't forget to set those permissions recursive, not just for the main directory.

Welp, sudo eclipse it is.
If you have problems, FIRST TRY SOLVING THEM YOURSELF, and if you get errors, TRY TO ANALYZE THEM, and ONLY if you can't help it, THEN ask here.
