Binary package hint: eclipse

eclipse 3.5.2-8ubuntu3, Ubuntu 11.04

1. Navigate to Eclipse's screen in Ubuntu Software Center.

What you see: An unhelpful bulleted list.
"This package provides only the Eclipse Platform. It does not include any development plug-ins. These are available in different packages:
* eclipse-jdt Java Development Tools
* eclipse-pde Plug-in Development Tools
* eclipse Complete development environment"

What you should see: Instead of a bulleted list, actual checkboxes for installing each of those plug-ins.

Fixing this requires:
(1) changing eclipse-platform so that it Suggests: eclipse-jdt, or changing eclipse-jdt so that it Enhances: eclipse-platform
(2) changing eclipse-platform so that it Suggests: eclipse-jdt, or changing eclipse-jdt so that it Enhances: eclipse-platform
(3) removing the bulleted list from the eclipse-platform package description.
