Updating Subclipse in Eclipse 3.x
Eclipse 3.x has a feature in preference to automatically check for updates. Provided you are not behind a proxy that does not allow this feature, it should work for Subclipse. Otherwise just follow the instructions for installing Subclipse, except take the option to check for updates in Step 2.
If you are behind a proxy that does not work with Eclipse, then to install updates you just always follow the same instructions you used to install a new version. If you always unzip the site to the same local folder, you will not have to define the local site each time.
