You guys are making this into a much bigger issue than it really is, Eclipse is designed to be portable, i.e. it doesn't need to be installed or store settings in the registry etc...

Upgrading and maintaining settings is as simple as downloading version Y and extracting it into the version X folder overwriting everything but the configuration folder. The new version configuration folder only has 2 or 3 generic files in it anyway until after the first time it is run. I've done this over the past 4 versions of Eclipse and never had a problem.

The only thing to keep in mind is that anything that's not included in whichever specialized version you're using may need to be upgraded, but that's simply a matter of clicking check for upgrades under help after running the new version for the first time.
