Due to a bug when building Base (JBIDE-19919), foundation.core thinks 
it's Beta2, not Beta1.

So, to ensure you're seeing the correct version of Central (from Beta1 / 
Beta1x, not Beta2 / master), you may need to add lines similar to these 
your eclipse.ini file after the -vmargs line for the appropriate version 
& URLs:

 
-Djboss.discovery.directory.url=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/staging/updates/discovery.central/4.3.0.Beta1/jbosstools-directory.xml
 
-Djboss.discovery.site.url=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/staging/updates/discovery.central/4.3.0.Beta1/
 
-Djboss.discovery.earlyaccess.site.url=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/staging/updates/discovery.earlyaccess/4.3.0.Beta1/
 
-Djboss.discovery.earlyaccess.list.url=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/staging/updates/discovery.earlyaccess/4.3.0.Beta1/jbosstools-earlyaccess.properties

This can be fixed w/ a respin of Base and all the aggregate sites that 
include Base.

Oh, and just a heads up... the Java EE package isn't shown on the 
Eclipse Downloads page for Mars 4.5.0.RC3 - only the plain Java package 
is shown.

However, the RC2 one exists here:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/marsrc2

If you want the RC3 bits, they're here:
