I am trying to add some property metadata to an feature for my p2
repository. I add the following lines to my p2.inf which is located in
the same directory as my features.xml but nothing happens.

Marigold_Poky_SDK.properties.0.name = org.eclipse.pulsar.category.name
Marigold_Poky_SDK.properties.0.value = Garmin SDKs
Marigold_Poky_SDK.properties.1.name =
org.ecllpse.pulsar.category.description
Marigold_Poky_SDK.properties.1.value = SDKs for the Marigold Product
Marigold_Poky_SDK.properties.2.name = org.eclipse.pulsar.type
Marigold_Poky_SDK.properties.2.value = ziparchive

I am working of infomration I got from
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Customizing_Metadata

Any suggestions for how to get these setting to appear in the
content.xml?

You don't want the "Marigold_Poky_SDK." prefix, try just

properties.0.name = org.eclipse.pulsar.category.name
properties.0.value = Garmin SDKs
properties.1.name = org.ecllpse.pulsar.category.description
properties.1.value = SDKs for the Marigold Product
properties.2.name = org.eclipse.pulsar.type
properties.2.value = ziparchive

Andrew that worked great, I have a follow up issue. I tried adding a
touchpoint id with the following lines and they don't seem to be picked
up. Any suggestions?

touchpoint.0.id = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.native
touchpoint.0.version = 1.0.0
instructions.install = unzip(source:@artifact, target:${installFolder}/sdk/Marigold-0.1.0/)
instructions.uninstall = remove(path:${installFolder}/sdk/Marigold-0.1.0/)

The instructions lines work as I would expect, but the touchpoint id is
always null with a version of 0.0.0

There can only be one touchpoint on an IU, so you don't need the ".0":
> touchpoint.id = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.native
> touchpoint.version = 1.0.0
