UI not listing contents of Eclipse software site

Question

When trying to add a Software Site (p2 plugin repository - either one generated by p2 Publisher or Nexus with p2 support) to a target definition via the "Target Definition Wizard" there seem to be "no items available" preventing the site to be added.

The same problem has been reported e.g. here: https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Nexus/Nexus+OSGi+Experimental+Features+-+P2+Repository+Plugin?focusedCommentId=12943363#comment-12943363

Tycho and the https://github.com/ifedorenko/p2-browser are capable of fetching the metadata and contents though, since the site contains a number of bundles (in "plugins" dir) along with artifacts.xml and content.xml.

Is there a known limitation/bug of the UI related to this behaviour or could you please point me to a workaround?

By default, the UI shows only "categorized" features. Uncheck the checkbox to see all features in the repository.

Thanks. (Un)selecting the checkbox does not influence the display still missing the artifacts. But you are refering to "features". What is deployed are uncategorized plug-ins/OSGi bundles only. We plan to use the same P2 repo for Tycho and PDE Target definition.. – Prescriptive

The user interface in question is restricted to features. It does not display bundles. – Vullo
