my initial reaction of "great", my second thought was "I
wonder if this effects b3 aggregation at all?".
There are some views in b3 where it makes assumptions about the
"Eclipse nature" of the p2 UI and divides things up in tree elements
(features, plugins etc.). Depending on what Pascal plans that the
editors will produce, there might be a need to make some adjustments
there. It only concerns how data is viewed though. I would be
surprised if the actual aggregation functionality broke.

I am thinking "not", since
a) sounds like, just going by the titles, there is really no
change to
"metadata" ... just making it easier to get the metadata into
the repository (instead of writing custom code or scripts) and
b) b3 aggregator
creates its own categories anyway, and since c) as far as I know
it simply
copies "product" metadata as-is but wouldn't hurt to do some
early testing (so, again, thanks for advance notice).
One clarification, should bug Bug
426529 be marked
with '[Product]'
as well? Start level just applies to products, right?
Cross-posting to b3-dev list just
for
wider awareness.
Thanks again,

specified for an
OS / Arch combination
Bug 426528 - [Product][Editors] Specify the name and location

Pascal
