[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6368?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mickael Istria updated JBIDE-6368:
----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 4.1.0.Beta2
                       (was: LATER)
         Priority: Minor  (was: Blocker)


Nested categories are now possible with Tycho 0.18 (without depending on a recent p2 version for consumer).
How should we categorize our features then?

> 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.
