Update base eclipse ide

Question

is it possible to update the eclipse base ide offline with new eclipse archive?

Considering eclipse 4.3.1 with a lot of plugins and features, now I downloaded the eclipse 4.3.2 package and want to update the base ide offline and keep the old one plugins, features, and everything...
Thanks in advance
