I'll also attach the repo I used in case it helps.
 
Cheers,

Actually, I take that back. I just tried it again and it worked.

Thanks!
Doug.

Thanks, Susan. It didn't work. I'll add myself to the bug.

Doug.

Re: nested categories.
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=262446
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=262446> 

It used to work, but we don't have a regression test for it, so it's
possible I broke it during 3.5. 
You could try it and report back in that bug. It might "just work."

Answers in reverse order:
Doug,

We have no mechanism for authoring hierarchical categories, and I don't
think the UI currently supports displaying hierarchical categories
(Susan can correct me if I'm wrong there). The metadata supports this,
and we will hopefully improve our tooling around categories in 3.6.

cheers,
ian

know how to define the metadata for that, but how can I, if possible,
get the UI to show hierarchical categories. In my example, I'd like to
have Wascana as a category, then break out Tools from Libraries as a
second level.
		
		Thanks,

		Can someone clarify the category behavior of a site. I
was expecting the category to work differently. For instance if I have a
category "apples". I would expect that I could pull in "Red Delicious
IU" from one site and "Jonathan IU" from another site. But what happens
one is site is arbitrarily chosen to represent a category and the
remaining IUs from other sites are masked.
