Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-4859:
-----------------------------------
Per comments in the discussion thread (to which I can't reply using Opera), the idea
of having a single feature that's installable/uninstallable in one go is certainly
interesting, but will require some investigation into how EPP builds work in order to
achieve.
Failing that we can simply continue to have a category which includes everything (except
3rd party integrations) so that entire blocks of function can be installed w/ a single
click.

Oh, and FYI, nested categories are now possible, as of Eclipse 3.5.

Looks like all that's needed is to add p2.inf files which "tag a feature as a
category"; so if we had an "all in one" feature, we could expose it as a
category, and thus it would (presumably) be able to show features within that category.
But would having:
a\
c1\
f1
c2\
f2
vs.
a\
f1
f2
c1\
f1
c2\
f2
really help users significantly? Or would it actually make things harder to find?
Create new categories for JBT/JBDS update sites

Key: JBIDE-4859
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4859
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build/Releng
Affects Versions: 3.1.0.M3
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 3.1.0.CR2
Attachments: jbtupdatesitesuggestion.png, screenshot-1.jpg, Screenshot-1.png,
Screenshot-2.png, site.xml
Renamed to capture current thrust of issue: should we have more categories than we
currently do on the update site? Expose more/less features? This is a
branding/marketing/ease of use question, so for now I'm bouncing it over to Max for
comments.
