I mean: leave the old Eclipse where it is, and install the new one in a
different folder (or, if you want to have a specific name for the
folder, rename the old one first). Yes, you plug-ins will be gone, you
will have to reinstall them too. I find this a PITA when upgrading
Eclipse, they should take an example from Mozilla. However, the update
manager now comes with some predefined sites which contain much of the
most-wanted plugins.
Otherwise, you can export your update sites in the old eclipse, and
import them in the new one (see the update sites window).

I think the Eclipse website really needs to have prominent instructions
on how to upgrade. I made this suggestion a few days ago but got no
feedback. Should I file a bug/feature request somewhere?
