Description Pierre-Charles David CLA 2014-02-03 10:09:20 EST 
The current descriptions for our features are very raw/basic (e.g. "Sirius Core Runtime", "The core runtime of Sirius, UI-independant and dialect-agnostic."). They are not meaningful to end-users to decide if they want to install them when browsing the categories in a composite update-site (for example in the main Luna repo).

We should provide better descriptions. See the thread at https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg10036.html for a discussion of what should be in a feature name and description.

Comment 3 Maxime Porhel CLA 2014-05-05 11:01:13 EDT 
Description in feature.xml files seems ok. 

But see Bug 427278: in the feature tab of installation details or in the Sirius installation details (clic on the Sirius logo in the about Eclipse dialog), all Sirius features have the same name and description.
Comment 4 Maxime Porhel CLA 2014-05-05 11:06:21 EDT 
Note that in installed softwares, the expected names and descriptions are shown.
Comment 5 Maxime Porhel CLA 2014-05-05 11:14:25 EDT 
I cancel my reopening as names and descriptin are fine during installation process and in the installed softwares tab of the installation details.

See Bug 427278 for the branding issue.
