It would be nice if the site names (aliases?) were shown alongside the URLs in the "work with" drop down. Something like: Eclemma - http://update.eclemma.org/ instead of just: http://update.eclemma.org/
marking 3.5 polish item. We'll be going through all of them and figuring out which ones we can/will do.
*** Bug 268192 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fixed in HEAD >20090318. This is one of those "seemingly simple" bugs that raises a lot of questions. I ended up using Name - Location as suggested, such as Eclemma - http://update.eclemma.org This introduced additional considerations: - need to sort by name - the special strings (Available Software Sites, Only Local Sites) no longer stood out and looked like sorting errors. I want them to appear in special locations, so I ended up using *Available Software Sites* and *Only Local Sites*. Does anyone have a better suggestion? I used * as it kind of implies a special filter. - the combo field assist needs to explicitly instruct the user to type a location. - I kept the "type or select a site" string to keep it short and simple, but my worry is that Users will expect they can type: Name - http://example.com To reduce this expectation I tried using Location - Name, such as http://update.eclemma.org - Eclemma but this just looked dumb.

If I use the platform auto complete support out of the box, you'll have to type '*'. But there are ways to customize it by configuring the lower level pieces individually, and I haven't decided yet if I want to do that (or that bug will surely open a can of worms). In playing with it, I found it kind of intuitive, but of course I'm too deep into the implementation to trust. Since '*' is a wildcard, you can type * and immediately get two proposals, for all or local. We'll see how it plays. The auto complete is not behaving well with the combo right now, so I may end up having to customize it anyway. Can you make any remarks/wishes in bug 267870?
