The current set of categories in the live plugin portal needs to be revised: 1/ 'Distributed Application Support' is probably meaningless to most people and should be deleted. 2/ 'Graphical User Interface (GUI) Development Tools' is too long, in the list view it overflows the column width to the next row. 3/ J2EE should be changed to Java EE. 4/ MDR probably does not deserve its own category. 5/ Remote development probably does not either. 6/ The difference between Editor and Editing is not apparent - do we need both? 7/ The difference between Java Code and Java Tools is not apparent - do we need both? 8/ Categories have inconsistent naming, some have 'Tools' in the name, some have 'Support', some have neither. etc. When I see the list of categories in the Add Plugin wizard, I think the list will need to be revised even much more. Currently there are too many categories, I think there should be at most 15 categories.
I revised the list and its new version is available since Plugin Portal 2.0.
