Description David Williams CLA 2013-04-11 13:24:57 EDT 
This shows up as 'null', in provider name reports
http://build.eclipse.org/simrel/kepler/reporeports/reports/providerNames.html

and blank in about box UI.

Missing from org.eclipse.platform.ide also. 

So far, I can't "see" where this is supposed to come from. 

But, I'll poke around.
Comment 2 David Williams CLA 2013-04-11 18:55:41 EDT 
After not finding where this was supposed to come from, I finally looked at Juno SR2, and it also did not have a "provider name" for the "Eclipse SDK" product. 

We could, probably, add one via the p2.inf file. But, not positive that would help once installed ... just if browsing p2 repo?
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2013-04-12 03:10:20 EDT 
AFAIK this is the product (and IU) ID of the org.eclipse.sdk feature and defined in the corresponding branding plug-in (org.eclipse.sdk), where also the provider name is coming from. Hence, it should not appear in your report, I guess.
Comment 4 David Williams CLA 2013-04-16 14:11:49 EDT 
I'm going to list this as minor, since same problem in Juno SR2 (and likely others). 

The "main product" build is driven by this part of the "tychoeclipsebuilder" (I think we had something similar in PDE). 

http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git/tree/eclipse.platform.releng.tychoeclipsebuilder/platform.sdk

We could add to p2.inf, I suspect, but what's harder (at least for general case, of "descriptions, etc.) is how to add the p2 metadata for "translations". That's something that'd take some study and suspect "invention" (to have a translatable file). 

So .. just to prioritize ... doubt this will be fixed any time soon.
Comment 5 David Williams CLA 2016-05-06 15:23:53 EDT 
This was fixed in the Mars time frame. I'll mark as 4.5.1 but was probably in 4.5.0, but perhaps not until 4.5.2. (The fix was to add property to p2.inf file).
