htmlDescription instead of descriptionTemplate (was Re: MIgration to OSGi whiteboard for jax-rs)

[Reto Bachmann-Gmür <re...@apache.org>]

As i Pointed out in my comment to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-914 the descriptin-template
mechanism ties NavigationLink too closely to a specific implementation of
the start page.

I think the most straight forward approach would be to have a method
getHtmlDescription that returns a String with an html description. If we
want to support localization such support should be added to the label as
well. But this would clearly be out of scope for the current issue.

Cheers,
Reto

Fine for me. IMO localization is not something we should worry about, as the
Stanbol UI ist just a developer UI and not something intended to be used by
end users.
