The Repository explorer (which is awesome) has a "Show Versions" button which seems to not work together hand-in-hand with the filter. If I select it, the version is lost in the label provider. This feels like a minor bug to me.

When you double click, you can see the full IU metadata in the dialog that opens and one could copy and paste from here as well
One might use this to get the details about which bundle ID provides the java.package one needs... |
