"About Eclipse Features" shows Bundle-Name of branding plugin as "Feature Name" [message #1678777] Mon, 16 March 2015 10:33

Hi,

I assume I must be doing something wrong; here's my setup:

I have several features (org.example.one.feature, org.example.two.feature), all of which refer to a single branding plugin (org.example.branding), which contains things like the about.ini and the icon. This nicely avoids duplication...

Now, on the "About Eclipse" the icon indeed shows up nicely. If I click on it, the "About Eclipse Features" page contains two entries, one with "Feature Id" org.example.one.feature and one with org.example.two.feature. Alas, the "Feature Name" does not correspond to the respective feature, but is the name of the branding plugin. This is definitely not what I want.

So I wonder whether sharing a branding plugin between features is supported or if there always has to be a one-to-one correspondence between branding plugins and features. And if the latter and I have to duplicate the icon, how does the platform know that the "About" dialog should only show the icon once? Do the provider names have to coincide (and if so, of the feature or the plugin)? Or do the icons (bitwise or by filename)?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
