<pre wrap="">I was having 'fun' with Igor F. p2 browser and noticed that our sites have references to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file://">file://</a> based repos.
See:

This is showing for 3.3.x builds but I just tested on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/juno/">http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/juno/</a> and its the same in here.
Any idea why that is in there ?

It's a bug in the un-maintained eclipse-update-site packaging type
we're using to aggregate repositories. Those <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file://">file://</a> ids are used to
create unique identifiers for categories. Implementation in
eclipse-repository packaging type is better and removes that, but we
can't use it yet because we have some tweaks relying on the site.xml
file.<br>
See related jira: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11065">https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11065</a><br>
<br>
This has never been on top of the priorities since it's working well
enough and the issue you noticed is invisible to end-users.<br>
