------------------------------------------------------------

AFAIR Central just checks if the contents of the connector (the list of features in the connector) are installed and if the version on the Central site are the same as those installed.

It's fairly easy to test this...

a) install JBDS 7.1.0.CR1
b) install GWT from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/gwt/3.2.3.v201304260926-rel-r42/ into JBDS. Restart when prompted.
c) Central > Software tab > see if the GWT connector is shown to be installed or not (it should be shown as not installed, because a newer version & different IUs are available).

d) or, install Spring IDE 3.2 from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/springide/3.2.0.201303060654-RELEASE-e4.3/ into JBDS. Restart when prompted.
e) Central > Software tab > see if the SpringIDE connector is shown to be installed or not (it should be shown as not installed, because a newer version is available for the same IUs).

And yes, we should have a new requirement JIRA to track this new UI candy.

[~mmalina] please open a new JIRA for JBDS 8 requesting a new UI to show that "this connector can be updated".
