[jbosstools-dev] Re: The new "i18n" directory in jbosstools

You can install, but do you get categories?  I just tried using that
site from Eclipse 3.4.1 on Linux, and everything was under the
Uncategorized category.  According to the site.xml, xulrunner should be
in the category "Mozilla Libraries", and everything else should be in
"JBossTools Development Release: 3.0.0.CR1-N200811201326".
