org.eclipse.core.runtime.IBundleGroup

Bundle groups represent a logical collection of plug-ins (aka bundles). Bundle groups do not contain their constituents but rather collect them together under a common label. The main role of a bundle group is to report to the system (e.g., the About dialog) what bundles have been installed. They are not intended for use in managing the set of bundles they represent.

Since the bulk of the branding related information is specific to the consumer, bundle groups also carry an arbitrary set of properties. The valid set of key-value pairs and their interpretation defined by the consumer in the target environment.

The Eclipse UI is the typical consumer of bundle groups and defines various property keys that it will use, for example, to display About information. See org.eclipse.ui.branding.IBundleGroupConstants.
