Re: [jopr-dev] [Rhq-commits] [rhq-project.org rhq] [3295] RHQ-1599 Provide the displayName as description if no explicit description is given in the plugin descriptor.
Yeah, agreed, descriptions should provide more detailed information (and
in a less terse form). For this particular example, the description
should also tell the user at what point in time the counting of bytes
received started, i.e.:
"The number of bytes successfully received since this web application
was last started"
Heiko, as opposed to defaulting the description field to the
displayName, I would suggest addressing
http://jira.rhq-project.org/browse/RHQ-1599 by disabling the tooltip if
the description is null or just keeping it as is, displaying "no
description available". And of course, we should add descriptions to all
metrics that don't have them. After 2.2, we should have a
plugin-descriptor fix-a-thon and split up the plugins among the team,
and each dev can go in and add all missing descriptions and any other
missing metadata (e.g. property types, constraints) to the plugin
descriptors they were assigned.

Granted, it does not say much extra, but it is more of a "full sentence" and we
could add more detail than that if we are clever enough :)

Ah and for displayName="Bytes Received", which is a perfect
description already - do I/we really have to invent some crap to
come up with something other than "Bytes Received" ?
