            Bug ID: 3723
           Summary: [IcedTea8] Use shortened Java version first in Name
                    field of desktop files
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: 3.x-hg
          Hardware: all
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: IcedTea
          Assignee: gnu.andrew at redhat.com
          Reporter: gnu.andrew at redhat.com

On Fedora & RHEL, the "#ARCH#" value we converted to "@target_cpu@" is actually
used for the update version, build and release, along with any other suffixes,
as well as the architecture.

This leads to the rather messy conversion of:

Name=OpenJDK @OPENJDK_VER@ for @target_cpu@ Monitoring & Management Console

to:

Name=OpenJDK 1.8.0 for 1.8.0.201.b09-8.x86_64-slowdebug Policy Tool

If instead, we use:

Name=OpenJDK @JAVA_VER@ for @target_cpu@ Monitoring & Management Console
(@OPENJDK_VER@)

in IcedTea, they can substitute as:

Name=OpenJDK 1.8.0 for x86_64 Policy Tool (1.8.0.201.b09-8-slowdebug)

Other platforms should also benefit from this.
