Installing new options to WDSC?

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me get this figured out. We're
using WDSCi v7, and I just downloaded the latest update via the IBM
Installation Manager. We are using Tomcat v6.0.16 as our web server. The
highest Tomcat version that I can install in WDSC is version 5.5, but I have
found on the Eclipse site that later versions of WTP include my version of
Tomcat. So I'm trying to install the plugin for the latest version of WTP.
I can't figure out how to do this. I tried using the help -> software
updates and adding a local site for the WTP folder that I downloaded from
eclipse.org and unzipped. This seems to be the correct way to do this, but
it won't let me install the files from WTP because the prerequisites are
missing. One of the pre-requisites is Eclipse 3.3.2, but it looks like WDSC
v7 is using Eclipse 3.2.1. So when I try to install Eclipse 3.3.2, it
tells me that it requires " feature "org.eclipse.platform (3.2.0)", or
equivalent". Don't I have an equivalent already? Why doesn't it let me
install the newer version?

I noticed a similar thing when I tried to install the GEF 3.3.2 (another
pre-requisite for WTP 2.0.3). It tells me that I need GEF 3.2.2. However,
when I look in my SDP70Shared folder, the GEF 3.2.2 jar is already there.
Does this have to do with the fact that there are two different folders?
There's an SDP70 folder, which contains a plugin folder (which happens to be
empty), and there's a SDP70Shared folder, which contains a whole bunch of
jar files, including some of the ones that help -> software updates is
telling me are missing. From what I've been able to find online, it seems
like SDP70Shared is put there by IBM and everything is run out of that. But
it seems like the software updates wizard isn't looking there? I tried
using the IBM Installation Manager, but I can't see anywhere on there to
download specific plugins for Eclipse.

As you can see, I'm a little lost, and I can't find any good documentation
to help me with my questions. I'd like to know how the different plugin
folders relate to each other, and how I can install plugins.



Thanks!
