Upgrading from RTC2.0 M2 client to RTC 2.0 as eclipse plugin

0
Abhishek Mathur (11●2●1) | asked Jun 29 '09, 2:36 p.m.
Hi
We were asked to try out the eclipse plugin of RTC 2.0 when it was still a beta product - M2 release. At that time the RTC zip / tar file came with a nice installer which we could launch and it would ask to be pointed to an existing workspace so that RTC worked as a plugin.
Now when we are trying to upgrade to the GA version, the Zip file no longer has a installer. In fact we now need to launch the eclipse that came with RTC. But I already have eclipse 3.4 and should be able to use it and it also has several other plugins installed in there. I don't wish to use the eclipse that came with RTC ...
Is there a way that I can upgrade from M2 to GA version by simply doing a software upgrade? What is the repository from where a client upgrade can be done?
Is is really weird that while one product from Rational - CCRC - comes with an upgrade and an eclipse plugin option, the other - RTC - does not.
I found a nice article on how to use RTC with eclipse 3.5 - http://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/InstallRTC20IntoEclipse35 . Is tehre something like this for Eclipse 3.4 too?
Can someone let me know if this is at all possible?

Thanks,
Abhi

We do ship an install manager based client with the 2.0 GA release.

From the downloads page:
https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/2.0?p=allDownloads

look for the "Client for Eclipse IDE" under a section with the heading
"Installation Manager".
