Hi all,

i've defined an update site for some features, which i grouped into
several categories. Unfortunately, when i access the update site, the
categories won't be displayed. When i deselect the 'Gruop items by
category' button, all features are displayed.

Why are the categorys not visible?

Thanks a lot Timothy

This is happening because p2 (the update mechanism) does not actually think there are categories. If there are no categories defined, then nothing shows up be default (in 3.5 or later). So something is going wrong in how you are adding your categories in your build process.

Perhaps you can indicate exactly what to do to add the categories?

Well, i use the ordinary Update Site editor to add categories and to add
features into them. Than, i use the "Build All" buttons to build the
update site... nothing extraordinary, i think...

Thanks again
