How to upgrade Eclipse for Java EE Developers?

Is there any non-painful way to upgrade an Eclipse installation? I have tried browsing the eclipse site but I cannot find an useful description.

Add the update URL to your available sites:

Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites > Add...

    Name:  Oxygen  
Location:  http://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen/  

Then tell Eclipse to look for updates: Help > Check for updates.

After the installation, Eclipse will restart and show the old splash screen. Next time you manually stop/start Eclipse it will correctly show the correct splash screen.

You can simply download the newer version, then use "File -> Import -> Install -> From Existing Installation" to add all the plugins you had in your previous installation.

Here's a link describing the whole process in details (it says "on Mac Os X", however it should work for other systems as well):
