Upgrade PDT 1.0.3 to 2.0

PHP Development Tools (PDT) for Eclipse makes me feel uncomfortable. I start to doubt myself because I cannot seem to find the intended way to upgrade to a new version.

Eclipse in general is such an well structured IDE: it has so many advanced features to increase your productivity (yes, I just saw a presentation by Mik Kersten about Mylyn). But for some reason, while using PDT 1.0.3, I cannot find a way to upgrade to a new version from within Eclipse. Using the update manager I mean. Isn’t that the most logical place to look?

Also, I wasn’t able to find one decent post about someone explaining how to do this. Because of that, I’m in doubt with myself: am I to stupid to see this or is it really not possible. I cannot imagine the latter is true so…

In the end I just downloaded the PDT 2.0 all-in-one package and unpacked it over my previous installation and everything seems to work fine. Maybe this is the only way to upgrade to a new version? No, never mind, this can’t be true.
