Note that if you search for updates to com.jboss.jbds.all (Alpha1) while looking at an update site which contains com.jboss.devstudio.core.package (Alpha2, after refactoring) JBDS will tell you there are no updates available. To perform the updates above, you must Help > Install > and select the features to install, with remediation. p2 won't see .core.package as an available update to .all, but will allow you to do the update BY HAND.

Note too that after the product package definition update from .all to .core.package, a COLD RESTART (full shutdown, not just a restart-when-prompted-after-install) is needed or your Help > About dialog will be empty and somewhat broken. This is normal.
