Hi Andrew,
Yes, I've seen that and I think it's a great way of controlling
categories when you have more complexity. The stuff I rambled about on
the call is intended as a more compact way of defining a site (using
one project). I think it will be short lived and replaced in favor of
the coming categories.xml that was mentioned.
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Today in the p2 call, someone from

(sorry, didn't catch who) mentioned that they generate categories from
features using some properties in the build.properties file.
Unless I'm missing something, the
only
difference in the metadata between a feature group IU and a category is
the property "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.category = true".
What this really means, is that with
today's publisher, any feature can be used to generate a category
simply
be adding a p2.inf file with the following:
properties.1.name=org.eclipse.equiox.p2.type.category
properties.1.value=true
