Description Elias Volanakis

A minor thing, but to reproduce:

(a) go here: http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-360/heliosr

or 

(b) Go to http://eclipse.org/downloads/ and click on details for "Eclipse Classic"

The Feature List is empty...

Classic really isn't a package.  Therefore there's no way to source this data out like we do for the other packages.

I think this is a problem.  The main link for the Classic download is the package details.  It looks broken.

To fix it, we can either:

a) change the link to point to something more useful
b) remove Classic from the list of packages, since it's not a package

Is it possible to remove the "Details" link from the DL for Classic ?

I'm not sure it looks broken, would it solve the issue if we just not display feature list for Classic?

I am sure it looks broken. Not displaying the list would definitely fix, although I would like to know what Eclipse Classic includes. I am specifically wondering how Eclipse Classic is different from Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. From the descriptions, it looks like Eclipse Classic may contain PDE while Eclipse IDE for Java Developers does not, but it would be great if the feature list could confirm that.
FWIW, I find the terminology of Eclipse - whatever Eclipse means - very confusing.
http://www.eclipse.org/platform/ contains:
It is the Eclipse Project that is responsible for, among other things, creating the Eclipse SDK, our premier Java and plug-in development tooling. Please see the Eclipse Project website for more info.

But nothing on http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ is called Eclipse SDK.

In the interest of those searching this on Google, the page is now called "Package Details".
