> As discussed somewhat in JBIDE-4859, it seems like we should nest our categories in our update site. So, instead of having lots of sibling categories for the various tools in JBT alongside a sibling "All JBoss Tools" category, the latter should be promoted to a parent category for the others (dropping the "All" prefix). For example:
> - JBoss Tools
> - SOA Development
> - JBoss ESB Tools
> - Drools Core
> ...
> - Data Services
> - Hibernate
> - ModeShape
> - Smooks
> - Teiid Data Tools Connectivity
> - Teiid Designer Design-Time
> - Teiid Designer Runtime
> BTW, IMO having features in multiple categories blows. I don't like seeing this with other Eclipse projects either. Just my 2 cents.
