Description Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2011-06-01 07:56:37 EDT
It is hard to obtain Mockito from the Orbit software repository. It seems to be listed as "Java Mocking and Stubbing Framework". Nothing in this name indicates that Mockito hides behind this feature.
Moreover there are two features exactly named "Java Mocking and Stubbing Framework". Presumably one of them contains the Mockito sources, but again nothing indicates this.
To reproduce, use the p2 UI to add PDE target content from a software site and have the repository URL point to the one mentioned in this bugs URL field.

Assigning to Ketan since listed as contact. 

Sounds like a name change/addition would be useful.

The problem is not only with Mockito. Most features in Orbit have just a description, though it is sometimes easier to guess the content. It would be nice if one did not have to guess and in particular be possible to search.

The most user (developer) friendly solution would be to have the java package name (top level) as name.

I'm sympathetic, but not sure that's the right fix. IMHO, this is something that should be fixed in p2 UI. If you click on the "more" button when a bundle is selected, you'll see it give you the "bundle id" (and other info) so the information is there ... its just not displayed (and searchable) as it is. Not sure why they didn't include it as a column in the main table. In other words, this "missing function" is something that goes beyond Orbit, and effects all projects in a p2 repository. 

Please clarify if I'm misunderstanding. 

Thanks,
