Description Curtis Windatt CLA 2009-07-28 11:29:15 EDT 
We need a grouping mechanism in targets.  There are too many plug-ins for most users to manage.  The standard way of grouping in Eclipse is features.  While features are not required by p2 or osgi, they are used in a number of areas within Eclipse.

Currently features in targets are hidden from the user.  We should make them first class citizens, incorporating them into the UI.
