Description Miles Daffin CLA 2011-11-04 08:16:15 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

See lots of warnings like this in the log:

Error in file:/Q:/eclipseide/eval/checkstyle/build/final/content.jar at line 256, column 62: Missing required attribute in "property": value

The error seems to come consistently from XML describing custom categories. If these lack a description the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.description property element is added anyway with no value (see below for an example).

    <unit id='Checkstyle' version='0.0.0.530cJVvvE31221_2_3148'>
      <properties size='3'>
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.name' value='Checkstyle'/>
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.description'/>
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.category' value='true'/>
      </properties>



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build the attached Aggregator model.
2. Add the resulting repo to your P2 UI and press reload..
3. Check the log for a property warning.

[Bookkeeping change only. Moving bugs to the new "home" of aggregator, CBI.]
