Description Ralf Corsepius 2014-09-10 16:35:54 UTC
Description of problem:

On my f21-test system, I am observing a menu text entry (e.g. in xfce or gnome classic, under "Apps"->"Other"), whose text is 
"OpenJDK 8 Policy Tool 1.8.0.11-19.b12.fc21.i386"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
see above.

Expected results:
I guess the menu text should be "OpenJDK 8 Policy Tool"

Hi. Unluckily this is not bug, but feature. 
you can have multiple versions of JDK installed, and in that case you need to recognize which policytool/console you are launching. 

I agree that it is not perfect, and much better solution would be to put version into tooltip.  Unluckily gnome 3 still do not support tooltips.

But do you really need the rpm's NVR? I doubt it.

yes I really do. Explanations are in the original report.

I really wish gnome3 support tooltips. I dont like this long names to.

There is feature request for  this. Old one.. ignored :(
