This post is to tell bits about how to remove older versions of DevS from eclipse and get new once installed. Also how to patch an existing version.
Recently I wanted to use wso2-developer-studio-2.1.0 and in my eclipse IDE I had a previous version of the DevStudio already installed.
This is how I removed old plugins and added new ones.
1. In eclipse IDE, go to Help > Install New Software ...
2. you will get 'install' window and at the bottom of it, you will get a link to get already installed software.
3. When you click on this link, it will give you all the listed software. Simply select all WSO2 plugins from this and say uninstall.
4. Restart eclipse, get back to 'Install New software' option from 'Help' menu and add the new version. If not downloaded, you could take it from here.
5. This post explains how to add wso2 plugins to eclipse.
6. If you are to patch the existing version with a bug fix; Firstly you need to download the patch and read the instruction given in its README. You will need to copy patched jars to relevant location.
7. Then for the changes to get applied you need to start eclipse with -clean option.
./eclipse -clean
Thats it!
