OK, so I verified the update process and here's what the users will see:
As I pointed out in my previous comments, 3rd party plugins installed via central will not
be updated automatically using Help -> Check for updates.
When JBDS 7.1.0 goes live, central will point to the new content, but unfortunately the
only indication of a newer version of a feature will be that the feature will be shown in
the list even if it has already be installed. Here on the picture I have already the older
version of the google plugins installed:
!install-new-gpe-1.png!
When I chose to install the new GPE and JBoss Maven GWT Configurator, I saw this:
!install-new-gpe-2.png!
I then needed to click the second option - Update my installation to be compatible with
the items being installed:
!install-new-gpe-3.png!
Note that this remediation is only needed here because of the GPE plugin name change from
com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e42.feature to com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e43.feature. With
other features it should just be a smooth update.
After finishing the install and restarting JBDS and selecting Help -> Install new
software -> already installed I saw this:
!install-new-gpe-4.png!
The only blank I need to fill is whether the new central content will be visible once 7.1
goes GA or after the user updates to the 7.1 product (using Help -> Check for updates).
I assume the former is true. The latter would only be true if we used a new discovery url
for central and the update to 7.1 would update that. [~nickboldt] can you confirm?
All in all, the conclusion is that unfortunately at present we don't have a smooth way
for users to update their features installed via JBoss Central (no Help -> Check for
update).

Note that at least one IU had been renamed:
OLD:
* com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e42.feature_3.4.2.v201310081840-rel-r42.jar
* com.google.gdt.eclipse.platform.e42_3.4.2.v201310081840-rel-r42.jar
NEW:
* com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e43.feature_3.4.2.v201310081834-rel-r43.jar (now e43)
* com.google.gdt.eclipse.platform.e42_3.4.2.v201310081834-rel-r43.jar (still e42)
If we decide to move to e43, we will have to rebuild jbosstools-central due to this
requirement:
{code:title=https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-central/blob/jbosstools-4.1.x/maven/features/org.jboss.tools.maven.gwt.feature/feature.xml#L24}
<import feature="com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e42.feature"
version="3.0.1" match="greaterOrEqual"/>
