Build Identifier: 20110916-0149 Features are present when trying to install them through update site, but they are not categorized, although category was defined in update site. User has to clear "group items by category" when installing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Crate new feature. Just give some details. No plugins etc. 2. Create update site. There create category, add feature created before to category. 3. Build all by pressing "build all" on "Update site map" 4. Try to install feature through "install new software". It is fine, category visible and all. 5. Open feature's feature.xml, up version number. 6. Try to do "build all" again on "update site map". Do Synchronize, "remove features", artifacts.jar, content.jar if neccessary, beforehand. 7. When update site has been rebuilt, try to install feature. It is not properly categorized anymore.
I did the following: - Create a feature - Create a site - Add a category - Add the feature to the category - Build - look at the site everything was fine Then I: - Updated the version of the feature (from 1.0.0 to 1.2.0) - Added the feature to the category - Build the site - look at the site. Only the old content was shown, this is a known issue. - Restarted eclipse - look at the site everything was fine. I suspect the pb is that you are not adding again the feature to the category.

>Then I: >- Updated the version of the feature (from 1.0.0 to 1.2.0) >***- Added the feature to the category*** This way it also works for me. This fixes problems. But update site definitely can become missing. 1) For my next test, I added dummy plugin into a feature. 2) Then rebuild site. 3) Restart. 4) Everything fine. 5) Bump plug-in version. 6) Rebuild site. 7) Restart. 8) Try to install. Feature in category is older version. New version only visible if "group items by category" is cleared. What I did, that completely removed category was: Delete all jars from features & plugins subdirectory (in updatesite package explorer), and remove artifacts.jar & contents.jar. Rebuild site. Now features are there, category not. I'm attaching my projects (above). 1) Just import them, then do "Build all" in "Update site map". Restart. Try to install. No categories. 2) Remove features from side. Re-add. Rebuild. Restart. Install. Category is fine. 3) Bump plug-in version. "Build all" in "Update site map". Restart. Try to install. Old versions under category, new ones if you clear "group items".
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
