I spent some time improving the "provider names" report, mostly for bug 
400235. So it should be more accurate now. 

http://build.eclipse.org/simrel/kepler/reporeports/reports/providerNames.html

Besides the appalling number of cases of "null" or "unknown" given for 
"Provider name" (which has always been true) I noticed a number of cases 
where people were giving the name of a company for provider name ... this 
is ok for a bundle that is a true "third party" bundle, but ... seems a 
fairly large number have been introduced for "org.eclipse .... " bundles. 
This seems wrong ... sort of against the spirit of Eclipse. The "Provider 
Name" should be "Eclipse <project name>". Here's a few that stood out ... 
but, could be others. 

org.eclipse.gemini.jpa   1.1.0.RC1   
Oracle Corporation 

org.eclipse.libra.framework.core   0.3.0.201212132137   
Eteration A.S. 

org.eclipse.ptp.rm.ibm.platform.lsf.ui   1.0.0.201303201633   
IBM 

org.eclipse.emf.diffmerge.sdk.feature.feature.group   0.1.0.v20121203-0924 
  
Thales Global Services S.A.S. 

Please fix as many of these "Provider Names" as possible ... it'll make 
Eclipse look much more professional when people look at the "about box" 
and similar. 

Thanks,
