Description Andy 2003-03-31 04:43:43 UTC

All but one of the packages for Eclipse have the same description in their
description field: 'Eclipse Tools Platform', which is not very helpful. Each
description should reflect the individual package it refers to.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -s eclipse
2.look at descriptions
3.

Actual Results:  
All eclipse packages except dev-util/eclipse-ftp-webdav-bin have the same
description.

Expected Results:  
Should have individual descriptions that let the user choose which package they
need.

i definitely thing we should change the descriptions to something like Eclipse java plugin. At least for the plugins.

I rewrote most of the descriptors. The difference between the eclipse-platform-bin and the eclipse-sdk(-bin) is not crystal clear from the new descriptors, either.

As we populate the tree with long descriptors in the form of metadata.xml, this should become bleedingly apparent.
