displaying feature info in Help->About->FeatureDetails [message #466498]

Hello,
I am developing an RCP application using Eclipse 3.2.
It has 2 features, 1 feature bundles the EClipse plugins, the other
bundles
the specific application plugins, and the product branding. They are
not nested.
If I export this as a feature product, and look at
Help->About->FEature details, I only see 1 feature, and under the
'feature name'
column, it displays a plugin name, not the feature name.
I have filled in all the required info in the feature.xml properties,
and my feature.xml files look no different those in Eclipse, which display
their info properly.

So basically my question is - what do I need to do to get my features to
display their info in table?

Many thanks in advance,

Richard

I should add, if I look in the 'Configuration Details' dialog, features
are mentioned twice:

*** Features:
com.empproject.editor.feature (1.4.0) "Editor Plug-in"
(this is what gets dispalyed in the Features info dialog)

and here
Configured features:
ID: com.empproject.editor, Version: 1.4.0
ID: com.empproject.EPEplugins.feature, Version: 1.0.1

(this is what the features actually are)

Just in case this helps

I've partially answered my own question -
the "feature name" and 'Provider' are provided by the "branding plugin"
defined
in the feature.xml, and the about.ini contains the about-info.
But I don't understand why the feature table doesn't display the feature
name, rather than the name of the branding plugin.
