Bug#700256: [eclipse-jdt] confusing extended description
Package: eclipse-jdt Version: 3.8.1-1 Severity: minor The extended descriptions reads: This package provides Java Development Tools, a complete and powerful Java IDE along with several editors, a refactoring engine, Ant and JUnit integration, a debugger, and many more features First, it is not really clear what this means. It sounds like This package provides A, B along with C, D, E, F and many more features. But we mean This package provides Java Development Tools, which is... Second, JDT technically *is* not a Java IDE. It *provides* a Java IDE when installed with the Eclipse Platform. Finally, it is redundant to qualify the Java IDE discussed as complete. Without a mention to the contrary, an IDE is assumed to be complete. If we think JDT provides unexpected features, these features should be mentioned instead. I'd suggest the following as a starting point: This package contains Java Development Tools. These provide a powerful Java IDE along with several editors, a refactoring engine, Ant and JUnit integration, a debugger, and many more features. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.

Bug#678459: [eclipse-jdt] missing determiner in extended description (debugger)
Package: eclipse-jdt Version: 3.8.0~rc3-4 Severity: minor The extended description ends with: This package provides Java Development Tools, a complete and powerful Java IDE along with several editors, a refactoring engine, Ant and JUnit integration, debugger, and many more features. A determiner is missing before debugger, presumably a. By the way, the extended description of eclipse-platform-data needs to be synchronized with eclipse-platform's. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.

Bug#664704: [eclipse-platform] eclipse not capitalized in extended description
Package: eclipse-platform Version: 3.7.2-1 Severity: minor The extended description contains: This package provides the Eclipse Platform and is the base for all eclipse plug-ins, but it does not include any development plug-ins. Eclipse is a proper noun and should be capitalized. By the way, Eclipse plug-in has a very general sense which includes parts of the Eclipse Platform. In that sense, the above is incorrect. It would be nice to disambiguate. I suggest: This package provides the Eclipse Platform and is the base for all Eclipse development plug-ins, but it does not include any. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.

Bug#664708: [eclipse-rcp] incorrect syntax in extended description
Package: eclipse-rcp Version: 3.7.2-1 Severity: minor The extended description ends with: This package includes Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), which is the basis upon other Eclipse-based applications are built. There is something wrong in which is the basis upon other Eclipse-based applications are built. This should either read which is the basis other Eclipse-based applications are built upon or the basis upon which other Eclipse-based applications are built. By the way, I do not think the RCP is an Eclipse application. I suggest: This package includes the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), the basis upon which Eclipse RCP applications are built. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.

Bug#655945: [eclipse] extended description implies PDE and JDK are not part of Eclipse SDK
Package: eclipse Version: 3.7.1-1 Severity: minor The extended description contains: This package provides the whole Eclipse SDK, along with the Java Development Tools (JDT) and the Plugin Development Environment (PDE). As explained in http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.7.1-201109091335/details.php, Eclipse SDK contains both JDT and PDE. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.

Bug#655946: [eclipse-platform] Extended description contains misleading description of eclipse package
Package: eclipse-platform Version: 3.7.1-1 Severity: normal Eclipse is quite complex, and I think the package descriptions could make this complexity a little easier to get over. Here are a couple of issues in eclipse-platform's description. The extended description contains: This package provides only the Eclipse Platform. It does not include any development plug-ins. These are available in different packages: * eclipse-jdt Java Development Tools * eclipse-pde Plug-in Development Tools * eclipse Complete development environment This package is the base for all eclipse plug-ins. The eclipse package does not contain the complete Eclipse development environment. It provides a Java development environment. I would say instead: * eclipse: Eclipse SDK, a Java development environment However, the list is still misleading. It suggests that the eclipse package contains development plug-ins, but it does not, it only ensures these will be installed. In that sense, I'd probably just drop the eclipse entry. Also, please clarify that the list is non-exhaustive. Perhaps eclipse-cdt would be worth mentioning. By the way, in the last sentence, eclipse should be capitalized. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.

Bug#640868: [jxplorer] java not capitalized in extended description
Package: jxplorer Version: 3.2.1+dfsg-5 Severity: minor The extended description contains: It should run on any java supporting operating system.

Bug#568351: [libicu4j-java] unicode in short description
Package: libicu4j-java Version: 4.0.1.1-1 Severity: minor The short description reads: Library for unicode support and internalisation unicode should read Unicode.

Bug#407384: libswt3.2-gtk-jni: undeclared conflict with libswt-mozilla-gtk-3.2-jni
Package: libswt3.2-gtk-jni Version: 3.2.1-4 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 6.6.4 libswt3.2-gtk-jni provides /usr/lib/jni/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3235.so, like libswt-mozilla-gtk-3.2-jni which is already in testing. libswt3.2-gtk-jni 3.2.1-4 and testing's libswt-mozilla-gtk-3.2-jni do not conflict with each other. This can be closed when properly fixed, or when swt-gtk 3.2.1-5, which declares a conflict with libswt3.2-gtk-jni, reaches testing (assuming that happens before Etch's release). ___ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers
