jconsole and policytool desktop entries as they appear in KDE's menu (classical style)

As seen in Fedora Rawhide (and in Mageia, which I'm using and syncs its java-1.8.0-openjdk package from Fedora), openjdk's jconsole and policytool desktop files have very long Name tags since the package %version, %release and %arch are added to the Name tag.
The values are added in this part of the spec file: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/java-1.8.0-openjdk.git/tree/java-1.8.0-openjdk.spec#n1053

I don't know why it is necessary to specify those values, but maybe they could get added to the Comment field but not in the Name field, preventing it from being as long as e.g. "Name=OpenJDK 8 Monitoring & Management Console 1.8.0.40-5.b25.1.mga5.x86_64"

The attached screenshot shows the "annoyance" I'm talking about (it's but a cosmetic issue, but unless the version is mandatory in the Name field, it would be nice to see it shortened).

Indeed, I had searched the database for "openjdk jconsole", but this one did not show up, I guess it wasn't searching in the comments.

I'll let you handle marking it as a dup though, I'm not familiar with Fedora's bugzilla workflow, and I see that the two bugs target different products and releases (bug 1000212 probably needs to be updated to point to openjdk 1.8.0 and Rawhide).
