Description Mikhail Kondratyev 2008-08-14 10:32:42 UTC 
The current description of netbeans package (displayed in search result in Synaptics) is simple Integrated Development
Environment. This is not descriptive and also searching 'IDE' in Synaptics does not return netbeans package in results.  

Both Eclipse and NetBeans 6.0 have more meaningful descriptions.

Same applies to the long description of the package.

I understand this bug has no impact on features but these descriptions are only ones visible for the users installing
package.

Any suggestion for improved description?
Comment 2 Yulia Novozhilova 2008-10-30 11:16:30 UTC 
What do you think about the following description?

Extensible Java IDE. 

Integrated Development Environment for software developers. It supports development of desktop, enterprise, web, and
mobile applications. Package includes the NetBeans Platform, Java Development Tools and Plug-in Development Tools.
Support for PHP, Ruby, C/C++, Java EE and others can be added.
Comment 3 Yulia Novozhilova 2009-02-06 13:50:38 UTC 
The description was updated. New packages are waiting for sponsors.
