Description of problem:

server side plugins are not diplaying configuration "description" information.

Looking at the rhq-serverplugin.xml file there are two tags that have a "description" property.

 <contentSourceType
 and
 <configuration>

  neither description line is displayed in the rhq webui.  I checked regular plugins and they do display the "description" information, however I'm not sure from which tag.


To reproduce:
1. go to Administration > System Configuration > plugins, server side plugins
2. click on any of the plugins, and the description is not displayed

see screenshots for more info

The description that you see in the plugins UI is the root plugin description tag.

All server plugins have a root xml element in their descriptor.. something like
<content-plugin> or <generic-plugin>

Those xml elements have an optional attribute called "description".

It is that description that is displayed.

If a plugin doesn't provide it in their xml descriptor, it will be empty in the UI. I see that my sample custom plugin's description shows up so that tells me that its probably that the other plugins just didn't define a description.

So, we need to get all the server-side plugin developers to provide a description attribute in the plugins to fix this issue.
