I Agree .

GROUP_PROGRAMMING_COBOL, GROUP_PROGRAMMING_PL1 etc is a bad idea

But here are some candidates:
GROUP_PROGRAMMING_LIBS
GROUP_PROGRAMMING_GNOME
GROUP_PROGRAMMING_KDE
GROUP_PROGRAMMING_TOOLS

It would be a good idea to split up the GROUP_DESKTOPS group
GROUP_DESKTOPS_GNOME
GROUP_DESKTOPS_KDE
GROUP_DESKTOPS_XFCE

A Gnome user will want to look at Gnome apps and a KDE user want to see KDE apps etc.

I still think some kind of TreeView with the be better as the number of groups grow.

-Programing    (GROUP_PROGRAMMING)
    Libraries  (GROUP_PROGRAMMING_LIBS)
    Gnome      (GROUP_PROGRAMMING_GNOME)
    KDE        (GROUP_PROGRAMMING_KDE)
    Tools      (GROUP_PROGRAMMING_TOOLS)
-Desktop       (GROUP_DESKTOPS)
    GNOME      (GROUP_DESKTOPS_GNOME)
    KDE        (GROUP_DESKTOPS_KDE)
    XFCE       (GROUP_DESKTOPS_XFCE)
