Category is a logical grouping mechanism used to organize features in an existing p2-repo, by adding extra metadata about categories to the repo. What's installable in a category is the list of child features under the category. The category doesn't get installed, so after installing the list of child features under a category, the category metadata is lost and what we have in the installation is a flat set of features. Therefore with the current implementation of p2-categorization in the repository, we cannot persist category metadata in our installation. However as a work-around, if we consider a category as another feature and have it also installed with it's child features we can persist categorization in the installed feature list. I have asked p2-dev guys about such mechanisms to maintain category metadata after a feature installation. Will work on it.
