[equinox-dev] feature names
As discussed in the planning call this morning our feature names are all over the map. Here is a sample of some I see in the current testUpdates repo Eclipse Project Equinox bundle feature Eclipse P2 Developer Resources Equinox bundle source feature Equinox Provisioning Director Application Feature Equinox Provisioning Generator Equinox Provisioning Platform The should be. (in the corresponding order) Equinox Bundles Equinox p2 Developer Resources Equinox Bundles Developer Resources Equinox p2 Director Application Equinox p2 Generator Application Equinox p2 Anyone have other ideas?

Re: [equinox-dev] feature names
I opened bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=236663 to track. I can take the Equinox Bundles feature and its source feature. Can someone on the p2 team take a look at updating the p2 names?

Re: [equinox-dev] feature names
I will just point out these feature names don't appear anywhere outside our test updates repository apart from Equinox Provisioning Platform. The director and generator features are build-time only features that probably shouldn't even be put on the test update site. They only exist because of the nature of the build process and I don't think there are interest for users. The p2 source feature will be installed on disk for users, but the name will only be found by the user if they open the feature.properties file on disk, since the source features are not installed and don't appear in the About dialog or configuration details. Since the testUpdates repository contents will be blown away with the first 3.5 build, I don't really see any value fixing them for 3.4.0. I did consciously called the p2 feature Equinox Provisioning Platform because I thought Equinox p2 wouldn't be sufficiently descriptive for a user not familiary with our code names. I could be convinced otherwise... Having said that, consistency is of course good and it would make sense to update them all to be consistent in 3.5 if we don't do it earlier.

RE: [equinox-dev] feature names
Agreed with Tom on the bundles features. As for the p2 features, if we are going to change them and it is low risk, why not change them now. In the precise usecase of Eclipse and the SDK the features do not show up to the user but they may in other cases no? For p2 vs Provisioning, I understand your point about descriptiveness. How about Equinox p2 Provisioning Developer Resources Equinox p2 Director Application Equinox p2 Generator Application Equinox p2 Provisioning The point of choosing a distinct name was so that we could talk about things more easily. It was cumbersome to always say “Equinox Provisioning”. The suggestion above does not sacrifice brevity, branding or descriptiveness.

This feature is available for download from the equinox page. The current name is pretty strange.
