You have a few options.
a) Each time a new, updated all-in-one is made available, download it,
unpack it, and point it at your existing workspace. Simple,
self-contained, and no updating required. (Note that anything else
you've installed into your Eclipse, like for debugging or other
scripting support, will need to be reinstalled.)
b) From an existing installed all-in-one, load up the update site you
like best (interim, milestones, or releases -- see
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/updates/ for the list) and install updates
into your existing Eclipse. Restart when prompted.
c) Download a new, updated Update site zip. Unpack it. From an existing
installed all-in-one, use the Install Manager to install the new plugins
from the unpacked local update site. Restart when prompted.
d) Download a new, updated SDK or runtime zip. Unpack it into your
existing Eclipse's dropins folder, eg., ~/eclipse/dropins/. Restart
eclipse with the -clean flag, and be prepared to wait a bit as it finds
the new dropins and loads them. (The purists might say that you should
remove the old stuff in dropins/eclipse/plugins/*pdt* and
dropins/eclipse/features/*pdt*, but you don't strictly have to.)
Bear in mind that you cannot update from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0, but you can
move from 2.0.0 to 2.0.x. This is because 2.1.0 requires Eclipse 3.5,
whereas 2.0.x require Eclipse 3.4. If you're simply replacing one
all-in-one with another (option (a)) then you can move from 2.0 to 2.1
because the all-in-ones also include the correct version of Eclipse.

You wrote it very good, could you copy&paste to the PDT's wiki ? I think that is good
source of the informations how to update PDT and what is most important is that you
described all possibilies how to update ;)

Wikified.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/FAQ#How_do_I_update_PDT.3F
BTW, the wiki is editable by anyone with a Bugzilla account, and for
that all you need is an email address. We encourage anyone and everyone
to edit the wiki to provide more information, updated information, or
just better information, should you find something missing, incorrect,
or misleading.
Don't be a stranger! Editing the wiki is a great way to give back to the
community and the committers who make Eclipse, and PDT, a possibility.
Cheers,
Nick

remote update site), because M have the same id number, simply eclipse tells me that pdt

If the build ID is the same, so are the bits. You'll need a newer build.

I and N builds are for PDT 2.1.
M builds are for PDT 2.0.1.

Ah, I see. The issue here is that the *feature* is not new, but (maybe)
some of the underlying plugins are.
I suspect the best workaround here (for you) is to uninstall the older
PDT feature, restart, then install the newer one.
For the PDT devs, the solution is to commit a change to their features
(even a no-op one) more often so that the change will be tagged, the map
file will be updated and thus the version on the feature will be
incremented so early adopters can update more regularly.
