Description

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. This bug report is still relevant. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time.

(In reply to Eclipse Genie from comment #3) > or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. You nailed it. Did anyone ever look at this bug, just to see whether it is relevant? Just a little reaction would be nice. Could you provide a list of components and better descriptions? We'll happily update them :) Moving to the Bugzilla component. (In reply to Denis Roy from comment #6) > Could you provide a list of components and better descriptions? We'll > happily update them :) Are you kidding? I reported this bug exactly _because_ I don't know the description of all the components from the Eclipse universe and I need help distinguishing the components. I already gave some descriptions in the first message of this bug report. The rest is up to you, the people who know the components. > Are you kidding?
No, actually I'm not. Eclipse has ~350 projects, I'll broadcast this bug in the hopes of getting some help putting this together.
Is there a way to have an extract of all components name with current description under something like Google Sheet? I think it will be useful for making proposals. For SWT, something like this: Eclipse Platform Standard Widget Toolkit: a cross-platform, GUI toolkit written in Java.

Great idea! Does this work? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GZlRf8V4dbGHh6rKCaSlWJkNdOwdvwctTAsSJOHPERU/edit?usp=sharing (In reply to Eric Williams from comment #12) > For SWT, something like this: > > Eclipse Platform Standard Widget Toolkit: a cross-platform, GUI toolkit > written in Java. I updated it in the spreadsheet, thanks. (In reply to Roland Illig from comment #0) > The description should better be: “Debugging programs, stepping, > breakpoints, connecting to remote applications”, to give some additional > keywords that might be relevant. I've updated Platform/Debug with this. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time.

Still there on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform For example, the "description" for "UI" says: > Eclipse Platform UI That's not helpful. The word "Eclipse" already appears in the URL, the word "Platform" is the product I selected and the word "UI" is a repetition of the category. In summary, the "description" is useless, as it doesn't provide additional information.
