Don't worry, I changed the section to java. The most important is, like you said, the description. And also the category in the .desktop file (and debian/menu), which is what, for example, the Ubuntu Software Center mainly uses to categorize the applications (learned this only recently). But thank you for your investigation, Peter! This "missing" section is very strange, and interesting.
