This is, probably, intentional. We do not typically update the 
composites until the JDT team and/or PMC gives the "all clear" since the 
composite site is what feeds the "Market Place" version. So we need to 
be sure a particular update is well tested and intended before putting 
into the composite (i.e. not automatically added).

Did you "just happen to see them" and think maybe you should get up do 
date? Or do you know of a fix that went into one of them, and wanted to 
install it to test the fix? (If the latter, you can simply add a new 
software site in your IDE pointing to that specific URL to get that one 
version ("at your own risk").  :)

I have CC'd the jdt-core-dev list as they would be the ones to know for 
sure what version should be available via the composite site.

Thanks for asking,
