I have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting in my eclipse launch script. I have
the various eclipse versions I have used installed in
/usr/local/eclipse-<version> but the launch script expects to find it in
/usr/local/eclipse. So all I do to upgrade eclipse is change the
/usr/local/eclipse symlink and then launch as normal and download the
latest subclipse with the update tool.

/usr/local/bin/eclipse:

    #! /bin/sh
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib
    exec /usr/local/eclipse/eclipse

(My actual version has "-vmargs -Xmx784m" after the eclipse line because
I'm running the sun jvm and have a large-ish project).
