This is a very common question. The answer is to use the IBM Installation Manager.

The longer answer is that there are two separate updaters. The one on the workbench is the Eclipse Platform updater (Help->Software updates->Find and install). IBM can't get rid of this because it's the way we add plugins from third parties like Arcad, Quantum (sp?), Subversion, etc.

IBM built WDSC on top of Eclipse in a different way -- it's more than a plug-in! In order to update the WDSC side of the house, you need to fire up the IBM Installation Manager.

I know it doesn't help much, and I probably sound like a jerk for saying it, but it's explained in the README. It's a rare bit of software that you can (dare I say it?) expect to install before digesting the README.

The IBM web page is http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400/ Choose Product Support (right side) then WebSphere Development Studio Client, Version 7.0.0.2 (left side) and finally the README link near the top: http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/awdtools/wdsc/v7/7002/documents/readme/readme.html or http://preview.tinyurl.com/37palf

Section 2.2 describes how to update any previous Eclipse plugins up to 3.2.2 Section 2.4 describes how to use Installation Manager to install the update.

I have a very serious question. Did you look at the Midrange FAQ or Wiki before starting the update process?
