Bug#557308: libopenide-util-java: Non-informative package description and outdated homepage link

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: libopenide-util-java
Severity: minor

Hi,

two things at once as discovered under
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libopenide-util-java

1. the description explains where the package comes from, but
not what it actually offers for functionality, that's quite
impossible to assess if you might need the package. The introduction on
the homepage would already be much more helpful:

The NetBeans Platform is a generic framework for Swing applications. It provides the "plumbing" that, before, every developer had to write themselves — the plumbing — saving state, connecting actions to menu items, toolbar items and keyboard shortcuts; window management, and so on.

A summary of the description under http://platform.netbeans.org/description.html
could be of course even more helpful.

2. the Homepage link http://openide.netbeans.org/ is outdated, it's now http://platform.netbeans.org/

3. The open question is if the change of project name justifies a change
of package name...

Cheers, Eric
