There are multiple ways to install JBDS into Eclipse, with varying degrees of succes / effectiveness:

a) if install JBDS .all feature:

* on restart of Eclipse, we get the JBDS branding
* can only Help > Search For Updates to find a new .all feature
* cannot install child features (components) due to conflicting dependencies (.all feature locks down the install)

b) if install JBDS .product feature:

* No JBDS branding
* can only Help > Search For Updates to find a new .product feature
* can do incremental updates (Help > Install new software) to child features (components)

c) if install collection of JBT/JBDS features by selecting a whole update site category, via Central, or via Eclipse Marketplace:

* No JBDS branding
* can Search For Updates to find a new child features
* can do incremental updates (Help > Install new software) to child features (components)
